Pathways to Building & Strengthening Cognitive Skills
Pathways to Improving and Supporting Memory and Critical Thinking
Pathways for Developing Critical Thinking While Learning at Home
Developmental and Synergistic
Because the brain does not develop in isolation, I use a synergistic approach that supports the development of the whole person. Working within a developmental framework, each client’s individualized plan combines sensory-motor exercises and auditory therapy with cognitive skill building. This integrative method strengthens foundational weaknesses while promoting overall growth and resilience.
Building and Strengthening
Cognitive Skills
Some students struggle to progress academically and think critically. Some struggle due to concussion syndrome. Others present symptoms or a diagnosis of a learning disorder that manifests in reading, writing, math, or social interactions. In each case I work with the client to build and strengthen the weak cognitive skills that underly learning disorders and impede development.
Developing and Supporting
Memory and Critical Thinking
Our cognitive skills including memory, information processing, attention, and comprehension support our capacity to manage life’s demands. When these skills are overtaxed, thinking becomes clouded and this can create anxiety. For students, professionals, and seniors who recognize their need to strengthen their memory and critical thinking, an individualized plan can help them regain the ability to support their memory and manage challenges more effectively.
Meet Jessica
It is my belief that human beings are designed to discover truth and embrace that which is good as they pursue happiness. This requires that we perceive our relationships and environments accurately, reason aptly, and respond rightly to the challenges we face. The ability to do so successfully is dependent upon our sensory-motor system, cognitive abilities, resilience, and moral character. As a cognitive development practitioner, I am committed to helping my clients integrate their sensory-motor system, build their cognitive abilities, and develop the resilience they need for purpose-filled growth during their pursuit of happiness.
It has been a privilege for me to work with a diverse population of people. This includes one-on-one cognitive development sessions as well as creating and implementing an early intervention reading program for at-risk children, coaching adults in the areas of motivation and resilience, and preparing and presenting brain health workshops designed to improve memory skills for seniors.
My classroom experience includes teaching in a mixed grade classroom and writing courses and lesson plans for PK-12 grades using an American Classical, Concept-Based approach that develops cognitive skills and critical thinking. In addition to a Master of Education focused on Human Development and Cognitive Psychology, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and certification to teach Psychology. My continuing education includes licensing and certificates in the areas of cognitive development, neuroeducation including a therapeutic application of both for learning disorders.
