Would like to learn more about PACE other than their website. If you have information, I’d like to hear from you. Thanks.
PACE Did not Work at All
My son went through the PACE training two summers ago at age 9 and worked very hard every day on the program.
After months of work, his post test scores were no better than his pre-test scores.
I strongly suggest you do research before even thinking about this program. The last time I check, there was no science at all on this program. (That is, there is no proof it does any good at all) As I recall, it was designed by an optometrist, and while I won’t say it is worthless, it should be scrunitized to see if it might do you any good at all. (While I certainly don’t think it would hurt anyone, you have to decide if your time and money are better spent on programs that have a scientific proven track record.
All the best, Marilyn
I am a PACE trainer in middle Tennessee and can tell you from my experience in the last year that PACE can definitely help the learning disabled. I investigated the program thoroughly before I decided to go all the way to Colorado Springs to be trained in the program. Since then I declined a teaching position in the public school to do this program full time. I have seen amazing results and have had thrilled parents and students. I have been able to help students overcome a miriad of different problems. The program retrains the brain and promotes the development of new neural pathways through the use of many different types of brain exercises. Most of the drills (left brain activities) are done to the beat of a metronome (right brain activity) to develop neural pathways between hemispheres. This practice results in the brain processing faster and much better….much like a rusty machine after it has been polished and oiled.
If you would like to call me for more information, I would be happy to answer any questions you have. I could even provide names of parents of students who have gone through the program. PACE is amazingly effective. I have seen it with my own eyes.
I am also looking for college graduates who might be interested in being trained to do this program ($15.00/hr).
