A+ Academy Programs For Struggling Students or those with Dyslexia or Reading Difficulties
Brevard's Best Option for Attention, Reading
and Language Difficulties
Providing more than textbooks and a teacher

A child’s academic struggle can be due to malfunctions in the reading and learning process that are deeper than what other programs/tutors can correct. Our skill-based assessments are designed to pinpoint barriers in the reading and learning process. Our programs repair that through stimulating the corresponding portion of the brain. The dyslexic brain uses five times the amount of neural firings than the typical brain to learn. It is imperative that a student with dyslexia has additional brain food like in the supplement Balance Formula 1. It allows the brain to function better, process information better and prevents visual fatigue. A high protein, low sugar and carbohydrates diet often helps too.

We believe Pastor Bode Kayode Maxwell: “You came here fully packaged to overcome all oppositions; to shine like a trillion stars, to blaze forth like the morning sun”. We tap into that potential with these programs. Our techniques repair the learning process and increase your child’s brainpower and ability to learn. We will improve the overall function of the brains capacity to learn.

The Listening Program™ is a Music-Based Auditory Stimulation method that trains the brain to improve the auditory skills needed to effectively concentrate, listen, learn, and communicate. It literally exercises and tones tiny muscles in the ear and helps build stronger multi-sensory pathways in the brain. The brain receives especially rich auditory stimulation, and its ability to process sound improves. TLP helps attention problems, reading/language problems and improves auditory processing abilities. This program facilitates recovery from reading difficulties due to vestibular based inadequacies. It is widely praised by Dr Levinson, a nationally known expert in ADHD and Dyslexia.
