Association of EDUCATIONAL THERAPISTS 36th Annual Conference
Bridging Social Neuroscience and Learning
October 24-26, 2014
We are fresh back from the Association for Educational Therapists Conference. It was so inspiring to know there are people at all levels making a profound difference in education and very often literally one child at a time. The AET Conference brought together a consortium of neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, therapists, university professors, administrators, social workers, teachers, and parents. This year's theme for the 36th Annual Conference was "Bridging Social Neuroscience and Learning". The theme alone shows these brilliant people are on the pioneering edge of educational development. They are taking on diagnosing the specific needs of every learner, developing best practices based on the latest brain science, and fine tuning those practices with learners that benefit most from this giant collaborative endeavor.
These trailblazers of educational neuroscience, create developmental tools and practices that make learning accessible to the disabled and uncover ways to leverage the mechanisms of the brain as sources of efficiency in learning. As the educational therapy community finds solutions for the diagnosed, we see that all learners benefit from these findings.
In our talks with the AET community it's easy to see how AlgebraCARDS was designed to fit the needs of every learner. A multisensory learning program that uses color to chunk information, connect themes, focus tracking skills, and highlight main ideas. A podcast for each card builds on student perseverance, close reading strategies, and deeper learning.
We are thankful to the AET for giving us the opportunity to be a part of their community, and we look forward to continue contributing to them in the years to come.
