Yes, here is a very quick 11 point overview.

• POWERMIND INTENSIVE is based on the best scientific research available and is continually modified to incorporate new scientific data.
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE targets and trains those skills that are most likely to have a meaningful impact on learning performance and academic abilities.
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE is provided individually to achieve maximum results quickly.
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE consists of sequential procedures to challenge — not bore or frustrate — the student.
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE is provided on a one-on-one basis to allow immediate feedback (error correction and positive reinforcement).
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE improves the student’s self-esteem by allowing him or her to actually see the difference in his or her own performance.
• 
  POWERMIND INTENSIVE drives new skills into the subconscious so that they become habitual and automatic.
  
  
• POWERMIND INTENSIVE procedures appear to be non-academic so that they are different from the schoolwork with which the student may have had negative experiences.
  
  
• POWERMIND INTENSIVE develops meaningful skills that are used in the student’s daily activities so that there is a high level of retention.
  
  
• POWERMIND INTENSIVE produces valuable results (there is a high return) when considering commitment of effort, time, and finances.

About 85 to 90 percent of learning difficulties are due to weak underlying cognitive skills. These skills include:

Attention/Concentration: the ability to stay on task or ignore distractions. For example, continuing to read a book while another group is in a discussion.

Phonetic awareness: the ability to blend sounds, segment (unglue) sounds, and analyze sounds. Problems with reading new words or spelling errors in writing result from poor phonetic awareness.

Memory: the ability to recall short or long term information. For example, copying from a board (short term) or taking a final history exam (long term).

Comprehension: the ability to understand.

Visualization: the ability to create mental pictures. For example, seeing "in the mind" a math word problem before trying to solve it.

Processing Speed: the ability to handle and process information quickly.

This is easy to determine. If you or your child is able to understand and perform as others do with extra help or tutoring, then the cause of the struggle is poor or inadequate instruction. But if good performance is achieved only after long hours, sweat, or many mistakes, then the problem is deeper.

Very few enter school or a job not wanting to succeed. It is only after they find it difficult, experience failure, or are ridiculed that they avoid the activities that give them pain. In other words, a lack of motivation is usually the result of a learning problem, not the cause.

Heredity does play a role, but it is minor. It is generally believed that between 40% and 70% of our mental abilities are learned, not inherited. Therefore, we can accomplish far more if we stop blaming the problem or learning difficulties on genes, which we can’t change, and start enhancing the skills that are learned and can be changed.

Absolutely. IQ is only an average of many different learning skills, which means it’s possible for someone who has "normal" intelligence to have scored high on some skills and low on others. And if those "low" scores are in the skills required for reading or math, then reading or math achievement will be low even though IQ is "normal."

Every school activity a child does has the potential to further develop an underlying learning skill. But this will only happen if the activity is challenging. School lessons are often either too hard (frustrating) or too easy (boring) because children seldom have equal learning skills. Therefore, to make significant improvement in these skills, individual attention and instruction is required.

Many schools simply don’t have the time or funds to provide this very intensive and structured one-on-one training. Also, most teachers tend to teach to the child’s stronger skills. By avoiding the weak skills, they don’t get developed. The result may be a life-long learning handicap.

The purpose of POWERMIND INTENSIVE is to help people learn easier, faster, and more efficiently.

To do this, we first determine if any learning skills are deficient. If there are, we determine how much they can be improved and what impact the improvement will have on the person’s learning and life. If that impact is significant, we then design a very intense one-on-one training program that involves active participation by the child’s family.

One of the most significant and noticeable impacts that POWERMIND INTENSIVE makes on children's lives is on their self-esteem. When children see improvements in their performance, they feel much better about themselves and work harder to achieve even more success.
