Neuroscience Moved Forward. Education Should Too.
Join our Movement to Reframe the Debate on Education.
What if you could transform student outcomes and cut costs for some of your most complex students?
Neuroscience shows us the way forward; now we have to follow it.
Reframe the Debate
- Stop debating how to cut special education costs and start debating how we can access innovations that reduce special ed needs that are costly to support
- Stop trying to avoid “medical” interventions that can reduce our “educational” costs
- Stop trying to minimize services this year and start looking for where an extra therapy today could reduce the need for therapies tomorrow
- Stop trying to lock down costs and start trying to unlock gifts that make educational needs less costly
- Stop reentrenching the status quo through smaller versions of the same approach and start looking for settings that are already proven to move these kids forward
- Stop rejecting schools that provide an alternative blueprint for education and start looking for partners that can move the public blueprint forward.
Districts: Stop debating what to cut. Start exploring what works.
What if you could transform student outcomes and cut costs for some of your most complex students?
Neuroscience shows us the way forward; now we have to follow it.
Prevent the escalation pathway that's bankrupting districts. This new neuropsychological approach breaks down learning and social challenges, cutting through the fog of behaviors and learning disabilities to identify the dysfunctional neuropsychological array that drives them, and then uses neuroplasticity to rebalance that equation and move the child forward--often in as little as 1-2 academic years.
This is a quantum leap in results relative to the educational blueprints available elsewhere: we’ve seen students jump up as much as 6 grade levels in 6 months time, and parents who’ve never seen their children succeed in any school environment tell us their child “is a student for the first time,” with a peace spreading over their household that they’ve never experienced before.
As that happens, we reduce the cost of the child’s tuition, just as we reduce the cost of meeting their needs in-district going forward, by what could be as much as $100,000 per year in specialist time, accommodations and therapeutic placements avoided. That brings our program within state special education funding provisions permitting placements using 10-76g funds for schools that reduce the costs relative to the publicly-available alternative even if they are not state-approved. Given that we work with some of the brightest children in our region, these transformations also shift students from costly outplacements to high-performing results attracting more families to your district.
Today these innovations are only available at Cajal, but we’re working for a tomorrow when they could be in every Connecticut public school. Each placement to Cajal offers transformational education for a family and meaningful cost reductions to your district—and it also helps us increase our cohort so we can give public schools the evidence-based solutions we all need to reduce special education costs by reducing special education needs and transforming student outcomes.
We believe this is the future of education, and we understand you likely have questions. Book a zoom with me or send me an email and I’m happy to answer all your concerns, or host you for a tour of our beautiful historic building and show you some of the innovations leading to the transformations happening inside.
With hope for the future,
Cheryl
