Strengthen the Brain to Improve Learning

“Equipping Minds cognitive Development Curriculum increases verbal abilities, nonverbal abilities, IQ composite, and academic abilities in learners with a Specific Learning Disorder.”

Cognitive Challenges Don’t Have to Hold Your Child Back

Slow processing, difficulty with attention, and weak working memory can make school frustrating and affect a child’s confidence. For students who experience cognitive challenges—whether from dyslexia, trauma, stroke, or genetic differences—these struggles can also impact social interactions and make communication harder.

Too often, families are told that IQ is fixed and that they should simply rely on accommodations. The truth is, the brain is adaptable. With the right support and targeted cognitive exercises, children and adults can strengthen their thinking skills, improve learning, and build confidence for school, work, and everyday life.

Research confirms the brain has the ability to make new connections throughout one’s lifetime, and IQ can change.

What Is Equipping Minds?

Equipping Minds is a cognitive development program created by Dr. Carol Brown to help learners strengthen the core skills their brain uses to learn and succeed. The program focuses on improving working memory, attention, processing speed, visual and auditory processing, logic, comprehension, language, social skills, executive functioning, behavior, and self-regulation. Equipping Minds is designed for any individual who wants to boost their learning abilities—whether they have dyslexia, ADHD, autism, learning differences, traumatic brain injury, memory or processing challenges, or other neurodevelopmental conditions. By targeting these key cognitive skills, the program helps learners of all ages gain confidence, focus, and the tools they need to thrive academically and beyond.

How We Strengthen the Brain to Support Learning

Cognitive Development Therapy

Through engaging games and activities, cognitive development therapy targets the areas of the brain that may be struggling while also connecting and strengthening multiple brain systems at once. Kids have fun while building the focus, memory, and processing skills that support learning and reading success.

Vestibular Therapy

Research has shown that the vestibular system—the part of the brain and inner ear that helps with balance and coordination—can play a key role in learning challenges. Supporting this system through vestibular therapy can help children with dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, anxiety, and other learning differences improve focus, coordination, and overall learning readiness.

Nutrional Therapy

A healthy gut is essential for a healthy brain and better learning. For some children, reducing or eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, and processed foods can help improve focus, energy, and overall cognitive performance.

Primitive Reflex Therapy

Primitive reflexes are natural movements we’re born with that help us survive early on. But if these reflexes don’t fade as expected, they can interfere with the brain’s processing, making it harder for children to focus, move efficiently, and learn effectively.

Maintaining Brains Everyday is a collection of exercises that reintegrate primitive reflexes.

Sound Therapy

The Sound Therapy Synergy program works alongside other treatments to support learning and brain development. Carefully recorded and filtered classical music is used to strengthen the ear-brain connection, helping children improve focus, auditory processing, and overall learning skills.
