Welcome to the Synap2it Brain-Body toolbox! We are here to provide families like you with tools to give your students an edge on their learning, because when students connect to learning, everyone wins.  Today we are talking about the History of Building Synapses and how it is related to Synap2it's student success programs.

Meeker and Meeker’s IPP methodology is based on contemporary neuroscientific research. 

In 1973 McCall, Appelbaum, and Hogarty found a major condition associated with increases in the child’s intelligence to which caregivers deliberately trained him/her in various cognitive abilities and sensory integration skills prior to those skills being essential for him/her. 

Such findings were concurrent with the pioneering work of Ayres, who wrote on the theory and remediation of sensory integration dysfunctions for therapists, teachers, and parents (Ayres, 1979). 

In the next decade, Ornstein and Thompson (1984) and Gazzaniga (1989) established that, among low-achievers, a commonly shared factor is underdeveloped cognitive abilities and sensory integration skills, which prevent the students from ‘learning how to learn’.

Thank you so much for joining us today. We are here to provide you with tools to give your students an edge on learning. You are not alone in searching for additional resources to provide for your students. 

Learners of any age can benefit from our brain based learning approach that gets to the root of learning challenges. Our ability to strengthen and develop learning abilities is what makes us stand out. Using our comprehensive brain based learning programs we help students recognize their full potential for learning. Everybody has strengths. We use the strengths to build the weaknesses.
