I'm in California, and am asking as a parent. This organization is based in Rockville, and based on my research the program was implemented at Whitman HS, and some other Maryland publics.

I'm looking for actual feedback please, from those who have either used it or know someone who has.

TIA!

my understanding is that it helps with slow processing, targeting that area so that it improves working memory and exec functioning. I asked my same question on the SN board a few months ago and didn't get any helpful responses. Which I guess is a red flag. just add this to my ever growing pile of red flags....

Most of the papers about this I've seen recently indicates that it doesn't actually do anything.

can you provide me with the "papers" you're referring to - I have searched and searched and haven't been able to find anything other than the data they publish on their website, from their own "research".
