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.
