in this ground-breaking seminar, professionals from many different perspectives come together to learn how their interventions integrate to remediate some of the more complicated dysfunctions seen in education today. the Pyramid of Potential approach starts the remediation with building blocks of mind and body health from the nutrition and psychology disciplines. this is followed by neurodevelopment and sensory-motor development from occupational therapy, physical therapy and vision therapy disciplines finally, cognitive skills training comes from education and psychology. the student can at this point learn reading, writing, and math with ease.

Leave with knowledge you can implement the next day to help students: improve phonemic awarenessincrease writing production and penmanship improve math sense reduce test anxiety increase processing speed improve memory this program combines lecture, with discussion and hands-on exercises to facilitate every learning style!

“I found Kathy Johnson extremely knowledgeable, the course very informative, and the subject matter tremendously beneficial. The materials will prove a valuable resource both professionally and personally.”

- Sharon d., Counselor

kATHy JOHNSON, MS Ed., has been working with students since 2000 to overcome their reading struggles, as well as other learning issues. She found an excellent program that brought their decoding abilities to grade level in a matter of months. yet, some could not read the test in grade level books, so she began her exploration into the trainings and therapies that brought students’ success. many increased their iQ and no longer required extra services. Kathy received training in order to bring these therapies to others which include Primitive reflex training by Samuel a. Berne, od, therapeutic listening by Sheila frick, Samonas listening by Jill Stowell, PaCe by learning rx, Phono-graphix by read america, irlen Syndrome, Brain gym 101, and an introduction to rhythmic movement.

in 2000, Kathy started the Hunter School of Ballston Spa for struggling students, in which she and her assistant taught third through eighth graders required academics while remediating their struggles through therapy during the school hours. in 2002, she started an educational consulting business to screen and remediate student struggles individually. Since then she has also given lectures and workshops to clinics and schools, been a guest on internet talk radio shows, and wrote The Roadmap From Learning Disabilities to Success plus other dVds and publications. Kathy earned her master’s degree from the State University of New york at albany where she instructed faculty and staff, was an adjunct professor at Schenectady County Community College, and taught at the adirondack School of Northeastern New york.Course Content disclosure: aSHa Position Policy states that auditory integration therapy (ait) has not met scientific standards for efficacy that would currently justify its usage.Speaker disclosures:financial: Kathy Johnson maintains an educational consulting firm, Pyramid of Potential. She has authored a series of workbooks and Cds, the Pyramid of Potential Series. She is a compensated author for ZlS Publishing. She receives a speaking honorarium from PeSi, inc.
