According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), approximately 25% (1 in 4) of all children have a vision problem significant enough to impact their learning. While exact numbers vary, studies suggest around 3-4%  of children have significant visual processing deficits like Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) or Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD), though some estimates place general vision problems affecting learning as high as 10-15%, and even higher (30-60%) in childr

Cognitivities Help Children Self-Regulate The human brain and music share an ancient relationship. When humans listen to or engage with music, multiple brain regions activate simultaneously in a neural symphony of their own (Toader et al., 2023). This is particularly significant for children as their brains are in an important period of development, forming neural connections at an astonishing rate, particularly in areas related to language, emotional regulation, and executiv

Sensory motor skills are those that involve the coordination of movement with sensory input, such as eye-hand coordination, gross and fine motor skills, and spatial awareness. Initial sensory-motor develop

While working with parents, teachers, and districts during this unique time, we asked some of our esteemed colleagues, what Apps and Resources you all are using to facilitate online, hybrid, and at-home learning. Here are a few we gathered. Feel free to add more on our FB Page .  We are hearing from many families and educators about the academic slide students are experiencing. We are reflecting on how to bridge the gap between learning, reading, math, cognition, and joy! Sha
