Unlocking Learning Potential

November, 2009

November Schedule - What’s Happening at the Center?

As usual, our free introductory seminar will occur on the second Monday of the month - November 9 at 6:00 p.m.

Starting this month, we offer monthly neurodevelopmental screenings with a mini-plan of action. To participate, you will need to attend the introductory seminar, make a 30-minute appointment for Saturday, November 14 and then attend a group meeting at 4:00 p.m. for the results and how to implement your mini-plan of action. The screenings cost $40.00. Those that follow through with the mini-plan of action and who upgrade to an NTA-Plus or ND Evaluation administered by our resident neurodevelopmentalist within 6 months will get a $40.00 discount. The details on how “to follow through” will be discussed in that group meeting on Saturday afternoon. Contact us to find out how to get started: – maggie@centerforneurodevelopment.com (253) 581-1588

You are welcome to forward this newsletter or print it out for distribution as long as you include all of our contact information.
