GROWTH MINDSET  

 Since  many Alberta   school systems  continue  cutting resources , especially for  students with special learning needs, there are now VERY   limited resources to support the  complex  needs of many students in a preventative, proactive way .Early intervention is KEY, and Dr. Brenda E. Abbey believes parents are first educators  - when the brain is developing !!

           ***An exciting NEW research - based approach to visual- motor and spatial orientation challenges
 called RHYTHMIC WRITING is being offered by Dr. Brenda E. Abbey to help children with fine motor, spatial problems and written production delays and difficulties. This approach alters and creates new  neural pathways in the brain to change the networks and solve the writing problems.
 
Dr. Brenda E. Abbey  believes  in a GROWTH MINDSET rather than a FIXED MINDSET. By supporting parents in understanding their child's  EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING , Dr. Abbey believes parents to be an integral facilitator  in their child's learning journey and academic performance.

As a certified  K to 12 and Special Education  teacher who also holds a Doctorate in Cognitive Educational Psychology , her specialty has always  been in accurately assessing a student's Learning and achievement profile { both  strengths and areas of need} and developing engaging , achievable programming materials and strategies .

 Her expertise in Curriculum  Design and Development is an asset to Parents  who want  assistance in reducing their child's  frustration and   improving organization skills and  their child's   achievement in  certain Academic areas of their child's HOME SCHOOLING    learning program.
