Offstein Educational Therapy provides an individualized, instructional program designed to discover the pathology of learning that is interfering with the client’s successful achievement. Educational therapy addresses academic remediation in the areas of reading comprehension, phonics, and written language, as well as low academic self-esteem, and study skills. Offstein Educational Therapy specializes in providing Electro-Encephalogram (EEG) Neurofeedback. The electrical activity of the brain is known as brain wave frequencies. Our brains produce a mixture of brain waves frequencies at any given time. An electroencephalogram, or EEG, is a recording of brain wave activity. Brain waves are measured and recorded using an instrument known as an EEG machine. If the rhythmic electrical impulses, or brain waves, produced by the brain become abnormal or out of balance, imbalances are created in the body. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback training uses a specialized computer program that produces audio and visual signals in conjunction with brain wave activity. Non-invasive, painless sensors, called electrodes, are placed on the surface of the head. These sensors enable the brain wave patterns to be amplified and displayed on the computer screen. By displaying abnormal rhythmic patterns, the brain can be trained to replace them with normal patterns. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback is both safe and effective. It helps to improve functions such as: • Concentration & focus • Short-term memory • Verbal expression • Speech motor skills • Gross motor skills • Sleep • Energy level • Emotional balance Examples of conditions that can result in abnormal brain wave rhythms are: • Open and/or closed head trauma/injury • Stroke • Coma • Autism Spectrum Disorders • Asperger’s Syndrome • Epilepsy • Migraine & cluster headaches • ADD/HD • Dyslexia • Learning disabilities • Clinical depression • Anoxia • Post viral damage • Cerebral Palsy • Traumatic brain injury • Concussion • Near-drowning • Depression • Migraine headaches • Learning difficulties • Down’s Syndrome • Cerebral Palsy • Dystonia • Anxiety and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome • Whiplash EEG Neurofeedback is one of the most compelling examples of the body’s ability to self-regulate and bring itself into balance. Current brain research has shown that EEG Neurofeedback can be an effective auxiliary treatment for the above-mentioned conditions. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback can help manage and improve the above conditions. Once the brain’s normal rhythmic patterns have been restored, EEG Neurofeedback is no longer necessary. The results of the training are permanent, unless another trauma or injury occurs.

The Perceptual Enrichment Program (PEP) is a short-term program of sequentially designed, hands-on tasks. The program fosters academic and practical problem solving, and integrates the ability to receive, organize and use information. PEP combines readily with other ongoing therapies and educational activities. It enhances the assimilation of related skills such as: gross and fine motor planning, self-esteem, problem solving skills, time management and creativity. PEP works through the visual amd motor systems to establish efficient functioning and to improve preplanning, planning, and execution of higher level thinking skills. It assists in balancing the individual's thinking approach to consider both the "big picture" and "details". Motor function, emotional development, and language interweave to form perception. Sometimes, however, during critical stages, an individual will withdraw in response to trauma or illness and miss out on essential developmental opportunities. Although people often invent skills to compensate for developmental gaps, these compensations become inadequate and fail as academic challnges increase in complexity. PEP helps to fill in these gaps, supporting the development of individual potential. It expands self-confidence, curiosity, and interet in grasping many intellectual challenges. It also increases openness to resolving social and emotional conflicts, and strengthens self-esteem. PEP therapy typically begins with a pretest to determine appropriateness of the therapy and to establish a baseline against which to measure progress. If developmental gaps are evident, PEP therapy begins. Each session includes manipulatives or papaerwork for cognitive or perceptual practice from eight skill areas. Every lesson in concluded with a fun, related activity to enhance assimilation of the newly acquired skill. Upon completion of the program, a post-test is given and the results are compared to the pretest. If additional work is needed, based on the post-test results, another level of PEP is available. Individuals benfit from PEP who experience functional difficulty in various cognitive and perceptual skills including: Concentration, Organization, Handwriting and spatial planning, Behavior, Motor planning, Bilateral motor coordination, Processing and integrating information, Understanding new concepts, Language processing, Memory, High intelligence-low functioning, and Academic performance.

I am a founding member of the Association of Educational Therapy, and have been practicing for 30 years. My preference is working with PK-6th graders, as this educational foundation is the key to later success. The younger the student, the less academic workload needs to be introduced. We can methodically move from phonics to reading two, three and four-letter words, each following simple rules using syllables. This lays the foundation for phonics, reading, spelling, and all the components of Language Arts. I have written the booklets for success starting with sound-symbol association, two-syllable, three-syllable and four-syllable words, sentences and short stories. Simultaneously, children are taught fluency skills, and remediation techniques for overcoming reading errors. My mission is to reward children with becoming independent learners, using a "self-correction" method of attending to their academic tasks. I work with the parents and teachers when appropriate to have their reinforcement to understand the importance of working as a team.

Does your child become easily frustrated with homework? Does your child struggle to keep up with their peers academically? Does your child exhibit anxiety and a lack of self-esteem when it comes to learning? If so, Educational Therapy may be the solution for you. Educational Therapy is individualized academic support that enables students to develop skills and strategies to be successful learners in a classroom environment. An Educational Therapist helps students set attainable learning goals, provides targeted one-on-one support, conducts formal and informal skills assessments, and utilizes innovative teaching techniques to meet the needs of each particular student. Oftentimes when a student is struggling to succeed in school there is an underlying reason. Educational Therapy aims to identify the cause and helps students overcome skill deficits. The ultimate goal is for students to develop strategies to help them not only enjoy learning, but also perform at their highest academic potential.
