IMPORTANT MATTERS

4807 MEMORY TRICKS VERSUS BRAIN TRAINING

Can't remember names or where you put the car keys? Forget your anniversary.....again? The 24 X 7 onslaught of text, sound and images that comes at you from every direction in our digital society often "crowds out" the important details you really need to remember. We'll look at some traditional mnemonics (memory aids) as well as recent computer-based "brain training" offerings to discuss how they might help improve your ability to retain the facts you want to recall. If you're suffering from information glut, this may be the "digital diet" you need! 0.2 CEU/1.8 CPE 1 One and one-half hour session $32

4809 STRUGGLE WITH LEARNING OR LISTENING?

Do you or does someone you know struggle with written words? Did you know that distortions of the printed word can interfere with the ability to read? Or perhaps you have difficulty listening because you cannot focus? Discover how sound is an essential "nutrient" for the ear, nervous system and brain. Join this brief seminar to gain insight about The Irlen Method and how the use of colored overlays may be the answer to finally take pleasure in reading and how "The Listening Program" enhances learning, enlivens neurological functions, and creates brain wellness. People become aware of why they have to work harder to keep up. If you struggle with either reading or listening, this seminar could be life changing.
