Vital Mind
Vital Mind is kSero's program for building healthy minds. The first step toward improvement begins with a comprehensive understanding of our clients-- how their brains work, their demands, and their habits. We find that conventional evaluations provide information about knowledge and educational skills, not about how a person thinks and how well. Our methods get to the root of the problem, so that it can be corrected. And a thorough, meaningful assessment is the critical first step.
As a client of kSero Centers for the Mind, you'll receive a comprehensive profile that help you understand your strengths and weak areas. These profiles form the basis for your individualized plan.
What to Expect
When you're a Center client, you can expect detailed information presented so that you can understand it and act on it. You can expect to be treated as an individual, without labels. You can expect a clear set of actions, measurable goals, and support in implementing your plan. If you live more than 100 miles from a kSero Center, we can provide an intensive one- to two-day evaluations and planning to work around your schedule. Weekends are feasbile.
Our Process
Using our patented Five–Step Process and our Cognitive Skill Model, we diagnose the underlying causes of the problem and design a plan to address it.
We use proprietary diagnostic assessments, not a battery of standardized tests that can't pinpoint causes of problems and don’t imply specific improvement strategies. Our integrated approach ensures that each program we develop is tailored to the specific needs and situation of the individual.
Research and Programs
We continue to critically evaluate the latest brain research and cognitive training programs and update our services when appropriate.
Building Foundational Skills
Foundational skills are the underlying skills that are necessary for learning. They include such skills as working memory, short-term memory, long-term memory and sequencing. (See our Cognitive Skill Model for more information). They can be systematically assessed, exercised, and improved.
At kSero, we develop foundational skills for academic, work, and life performance.
