LearningSuccess Institute
The LearningSuccess model of education helps adults and children discover their unique learning needs. They present a positive approach that is based on working with each person’s natural gifts and dispositions, rather than applying dysfunctional labels such as A.D.D., Dyslexic, Hyperactive, or Learning Disabled. They help adults and children use their learning styles as doorways into their unique ways of learning in order to reach academic goals and to discover their direction in life.

Parenting with the Brain in Mind All Gifts Music
Parenting with the Brain in Mind is an approach that helps parents take cutting-
edge science and apply it to everyday parenting. It's also the title of Tina P. Bryson's lecture series, numerous classes she teaches, and an upcoming book. Tina's goal is to take scientifically-grounded knowledge, and use it to help parents better understand their kids and themselves, and most importantly, to
apply it in the parenting trenches—in their breakfast-table, grocery-store,
temper-tantrum, everyday parenting world.
