The Montessori tutoring approach for each individual child is developed based on an initial assessment done during the first session. Teacher and parent input is also taken into consideration when creating this customized plan. The Montessori approach is a child-centered educational approach that emphasizes hands-on learning and collaborative work. This approach has been shown to be very effective in helping children to learn and retain information. As a result, Montessori tutoring can be an excellent way to help your child succeed in school.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive computer-based approach that helps train the brain to self-regulate areas that control attention, information processing, cognitive functions, mood and behavioral patterns.
Electrodes are attached to the scalp in order for the therapist to monitor brain waves via a computer setup. Depending on which patterns are occurring (delta, theta, alpha, and beta), the client is given specific instructions to concentrate on a screen which might be showing a game or a video. The software then provides feedback in the form of sound or visual clues that indicate in real time how the child is doing.
Neurofeedback will tune-up brain functioning by returning it to its natural balance, allowing the child to absorb the knowledge “with ease and joy, and at their own pace”.
Neurofeedback is a non-medical treatment for ADHD that has shown up to 90% success rate in improving symptoms. It's often seen as an alternative to medication, with the added benefit of having no side effects. It can be done regardless if you take pills or not. People who do not respond to medication may benefit from Neurofeedback. The basic difference between taking medication and doing Neurofeedback is that medication is chemical regulation, whereas Neurofeedback promotes self-regulation.
The goal of biofeedback is to gain more control over physiological processes, specifically breathing, heart rate, and skin temperature.
Special sensors are placed around the torso, heart and upper-arm. They pick up signals from a person's physiology and those measurements show up on the therapist’s screen. They are compared to established statistics to identify ongoing imbalances that the child might not be aware of. The child is then trained to use exercises & techniques to regulate breathing and heart rate, which balances these physiological processes. Real-time feedback and rewards in the form of music, pictures or video games are part of the self-regulating process.
Montessori philosophy is based on the belief that children are able to soak up knowledge from their surroundings, and therefore they should be given an environment where they can flourish to their full potential. To create that environment, especially for those who have learning challenges, or need specific attention, I adopt Neurofeedback as a helping tool in the learning process. Neurofeedback tunes up their brains for learning.
