The Pyramid of Potential was created after working with students who struggled in reading, and finding that that they needed more than reading tutoring to be successful in school. This drove me to find the underlying causes of those struggles, and ways to remediate them. Since 1999, I have worked with many students, and seen them go from having learning disabilities to being successful students, replicating these results, and fine-tuning the Pyramid of Potential. By mapping these steps for you, and ordering them from beginning to end, anyone can easily follow the path to success using much less time and energy than we had used.

As an overview, the base of the Pyramid is Body and Mind Health. In order for the brain to be working at its best, the cells must be healthy. Just above that is Neuro-Development. Between pre-natal and age 3, we go through many stages that develop our brains and bodies, and open up pathways to our higher brains. This area is very easy to fix, and the most powerful! During this therapy, we are integrating the primitive reflexes: Moro, TLR, Spinal Galant, ATNR, and STNR.

Next is Sensory-Motor Development. If we cannot see, hear, or feel well, it is difficult to get proper input to our brains. We need to be able to use large and small motor abilities to properly express what we know. Our Cognitive Development of skills (like processing speed, memory, attention, and reasoning) is dependent on the other parts of the Pyramid; neuro-development and the sensory-motor systems must be in proper working order to develop fully in the cognitive area.

At this point, these skills can be taught and improved. Academic Success happens easily and quickly in a child who has developed the rest of the PYRAMID OF POTENTIAL.
