In just 7 months, 12-year old Justin went from not be able to read or write to not needing special education (he'd been in a IEP for 5 years). 14-year old Kristin went from a 3rd to a 12th grade reading level in seven short months. These are just a few of the hundreds of success stories of those who have gone through the Sharper Minds program. 80-90% of those on meds such as Ritalin, Adderall or Concerta are able to discontinue them within 6 months due to dramatic improvements in academics, focus and behavior.

Beat the fee increase! Fees go up about 10% for those calling to schedule after June 1st (Our staff is spending about an hour more than originally planned for in doing a more detailed psychology report). See the fees page for more info. Given that many families were spending too much time driving around hunting down the proper high fidelity CD player and headphones needed for the auditory therapy, we now include them with our various packages. NEW LOWER COST PROGRAM OPTIONS Already had an evaluation? We offer a number of more budget friendly options. If you can allocate for orthodontic braces, you can afford the Sharper Minds program. We looked carefully at how we might be able to reduce the overall cost to a family of the program. We stripped out some of the services that a number of people weren't able to take advantage of such as insurance support, and reduced the number of visits a month to 2 instead of weekly. This allowed us to reduce the initial payment and keep the monthly payment very reasonable. See the fees page for pricing info on the twice-a-month program. SELF-GUIDED

EXCERPT: DID YOU KNOW? Combination of Additives, Food Coloring's Toxic to Brain
Cell ARTICLE EXCERPT: DID YOU KNOW?s. The common food additives MSG and aspartame can become
highly toxic to brain cells when combined with certain artificial colorings,
according to new research. The
findings support claims that food additives and colorings are culprits in
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Karen Lau and her colleagues created two combinations of food additives, MSG combined with the food coloring “brilliant blue” and aspartame combined with the food coloring “quinoline yellow” and studied the effects of the mixtures on nerve cells using mouse neuroblastoma cells as a model. The researchers report that while each of the four substances in isolation could harm cells at high enough concentrations, the combinations exhibited a powerful synergistic effect, stunting nerve cell growth to a far greater degree than individual toxicities would suggest, up to four times as much for MSG/brilliant blue, and up to seven times as much for aspartame/quinoline yellow. The researchers note that the concentrations of additives and colorings found to be toxic in combination were “theoretically achievable in plasma by ingestion of a typical snack and drink.” The effect of such toxic combinations of additives and covering on brain development during early childhood, the researchers say, could be profound. “Cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and snaps a formation progress in a tightly programmed an orderly fashion,” they note. “Interference with any stage of this cascade of events may alter normal progression of subsequent stages and short-term disruptions may have long-term effects later in life.” Source Excerpted from Crime Times Volume 12 Number 1, 2006.

developmental neurotoxicity test,” Karen Lau, W. Graham MacLean, Dominic P.
