Who We Are...
The Alcott Center for Cognitive Enhancement provides personalized,
research-based, multi-sensory learning programs to
help children of all ages and abilities reach their full academic potential. Headquartered in Richland, Michigan, we
serve Kalamazoo, Portage, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas, and are
a leading provider for children with:
- Poor grades
- Learning disabilities
- Dyslexia
- Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)
- AD/HD
- PDD-NOS / Autism / Asperger's
- Sensory Integration Dysfunction
- Speech and Language delays
- Down Syndrome
- History of ear infections
- Other disorders which slow or otherwise hinder normal educational
development
... And How We're Different
The Alcott Center for Cognitive Enhancement focuses on identifying and
correcting the cause behind the symptom. Each child is evaluated using a series
of evaluation tools, to determine areas of strength and to identify areas
where support is needed. Once the areas of need are determined, we
custom-design a program specifically for your child using an array of
research-based
solutions. Every child is different, so we treat them all differently!
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment at The Alcott Center. Through this
unique approach, we are better able to find the child's core needs... and meet
them.

- The Listening Program
-
The Listening Program (TLP) is a unique auditory intervention method that
builds upon decades of clinical research in several fields. TLP is a
home-based program using psychoacoustically modified classical music CDs
that train the brain to work more efficiently.
-
- Samonas Auditory
Intervention
-
The root cause of many childhood issues lies in the auditory system. Samonas
Auditory Intervention trains the auditory system to work in concert with the
brain by using a series of carefully designed classical music, voice and
nature CDs, individually selected to meet the needs of your child. Samonas
is a home-based program.
- PACE
- More than just tutoring, PACE (Processing and Cognitive Enhancement)
is a 12 week, intensive training program that strengthens underlying cognitive skills
and as a result, helps children become better learners. PACE trains
the entire learning system, not just the surface skills.
- Master the Code
- Master the Code is a specialized "sound to code" reading and spelling
program that develops underlying auditory processing skills. Students
have averaged over four years of reading skill improvement in less than five
months. MTC is designed to integrate with and build upon the skills
learned through the PACE program.
- Lindamood-Bell Processes
- The Lindamood-Bell learning processes are recognized worldwide as among the most
effective tools to better learning. A multi-sensory approach ensures
that the needs of the whole child are being addressed, not just the symptoms
of the learning disability or delay. There are two
primary programs under this umbrella: Lindamood
Phoneme Sequencing® and Nancibell®
Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking® (V/V®).
