Our Programs
kSero programs are derived from data, our clinical experience, and the latest brain research. We use a combination of custom workshops and development activities, along with professional systems designed for cognitive training.
- Vital Mind is our five-step process for building high-functioning, healthy minds. The process starts with an assessment which helps clients understand how they think. Improvement strategies involve one or more of the following:
- EEG or brainwave mapping which shows electrical wave activity in the various regions of the brain.
- Cognitive training using computer-based systems
- Home-based activities
- Research-based Parenting Workshop on the eight factors that produce the best long-term outcomes for children.
- Workshops that increase knowledge, skills, mental processing, and control
- Executive programs that increase mental performance and effectiveness.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback or brainwave biofeedback, is simply biofeedback for the brain. With computer technology, the brain is given real-time information on its own brainwave functioning and how to better regulate it. The results are often better attention and concentration, more time on task, reduced impulsivity, and the increased ability to shift from one type of thinking to another.
Certain brainwaves (electrical impulses in the brain) correspond to various mental states such as daydreaming, sleepiness, alertness, and active processing of information. If a client, for example, is having a difficult time staying on task in class or work, neurofeedback allows the brain to teach itself how to reduce the brainwaves related to inattentiveness and increase the brainwaves related to productive attention. In addition to proper nutrition, wise lifestyle choices, and cognitive training, neurofeedback can often serve as a highly effective means of improving mental performance.
Play Attention®
Play Attention is a patented system developed by Unique Logic and Technologies, Inc. that trains the brain to pay attention. The user completes activities on a computer while wearing a helmet with integrated electrodes that monitor the brain waves and provide instant feedback to the user.
BrainTrain®
The Brain Train software contains a variety of exercises that can be completed at various levels of difficulty and are designed to improve foundational skills.
For Summer 2006, kSero is pleased to offer Summer Brain Prep Club for children.
- Summer Brain Prep Club is a fun way to promote brain maturation and development for children during the summer months, when skills needed for mastering the year's curriculum tend to diminish.
- It is both fun AND flexible, using a health-club type of approach. You may pick and choose the times and the programs your child attends.
- By being a summer club member, you child will have the advantage of "brushing up" weaker areas while challenging those skills that are already strong.
- Our club members improve cognitive skills such as memory, attention, self-control, problem-solving, and expression. Moreover, parents can select the skills they want their children to work on!
- Activities include counselor-led group activities, computer-based programs, workshops, special courses on food preparation, and board games tournaments.
