Individual and small group interactive learning
SCHOLARS commit to five (5) in-person sessions and 2 virtual sessions with their Learning Specialist. The two hour (2 hour) sessions follow the Scholar's Individualized Learning Roadmap curriculum. Ideal frequency of sessions is once a week; however, we recognize that Scholars' schedules can be complicated with extracurricular activities. Learning specialists attempt to accommodate Scholars' schedules.
"PLAY ATTENTION" games
PLAY ATTENTION is a neurocognitive training program that improves executive function. PLAY ATTENTION has been helping children and adults thrive and succeed for over 25 years. Their NASA inspired technology and cognitive exercises improve executive function and self-regulation. By wearing the Play Attention BodyWave® armband controller, cognitive exercises are controlled by mind alone. The Play Attention cognitive exercises improve areas such as attention, short term memory, task completion, social skills, working memory, organization, auditory processing, motor skills, and more! They also have a fully integrated behavioral shaping program to teach personal regulation of disruptive or impulsive behaviors.
Ongoing collaboration with support staff
Our Learning Specialists communicate with Scholar's support professionals (teachers, specialists, tutors, advisors, counselors, etc.). Feedback between the SAJE Learning Specialist and the Scholar's primary support providers encourages cooperative partnership to benefit the Scholar's social, emotional and academic confidence.
Ongoing collaboration with caregivers
SAJE staff teach and model strategies to enhance the Scholar's areas of need. The strategies are most effective when familiarity and positive reinforcement are endorsed in the home and academic settings. Updates are shared with Scholar's caregivers (parents, extended family members) to promote ongoing inclusion of the strategies. Practicing new skills promotes familiarity which promotes ease of transition into the new, learned behaviors.
Parent education workshops
As amazing as the program is, our Scholars won't find confidence and success in a vacuum. Parents/family must be partners in the process. Workshops are offered for Scholar's families. Workshops are facilitated by Debbie Disney, LCSW-C and mental health professionals who have extensive experience working with children, teens and adults challenged with limited attention, focus and executive function skills.
Incorporating out-of-the-box teaching techniques
Mindfulness, Movement, Developmental Resources, Interactive Games, Experiential Learning, Team Building, Sign Language, Music enhance the interactive, creative approach Learning Specialists utilize as alternative teaching methods. Our Scholars learn best through exploration.
Extended Access to PLAY ATTENTION games
Scholars can schedule additional times to access the "Play Attention" games outside of Individual Learning Roadmap sessions.
