“SCEIC Helps Kids Start School on the Right Track with Brain Training”
Space Coast Early Intervention Center (SCEIC), Brevard’s premier non-profit school for children with and without special needs, is helping children in the community gain back confidence at school, improving performance and renewing an enthusiasm for learning. This dramatic change has resulted from participation in SCEIC’s Brain Training Program.
Brain training helps to uncover the root cause of the student’s struggle, allowing specialists target, modify, and develop the brain to improve function and strengthen deficiencies. One of SCEIC’s students, Katie R., recently graduated from the program with a completely different outlook on school, and grades that went from C’s and F’s, to A’s, B’s and C’s.
