Anne Sentell has been working in the field of cognitive therapy and training for 12 years. She began as a visual and cognitive therapist working in an optometric office doing visual and cognitive therapy with children who had both visual and cognitive difficulties. The following are some of the skills she taught her students: concentration, how to improve processing speed, visualization, long and short-term memory, visual memory, visual-motor integration, logic and reasoning, and eye-teaming skills.
In 2000, she launched her own business Progressive Learning Solutions, helping children with cognitive processing and eye-teaming problems. The program is a one-on-one 12 week intense cognitive processing training program, for children with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia and and other learning problems. Anne saw such a dramatic positive change in the grades and confidence level of her students, that she wanted to provide a home cognitive training kit for parents, teachers, or professionals to use in the home, school, or office.
In December 2007, she published the Left-Behind Survial kit, consisting of 5 books including cognitive training tools and an easy to use training manual. In 2008, She published her second set of books, the Auditory Building Blocks Program for children with dyslexia and other reading problems. Progressive learning Solutions provides PDF versions of all of our materials and personal support to all of our clients throughout the program.

What is Cognitive Development and Training and Why it is So Important to a Child’s Academic Success
Cognitive skills are developed over time and derive primarily from our sensory and motor skills but are not dependent on them. However, sensory and motor skills are dependent on cognitive development to give them meaning and direction. Sensory and motor development includes the abilities we normally acquire and develop from birth such as the abilities to: • see • hear • touch • grasp • walk Cognitive functions take sensory and motor skills to a higher level and can improve with training. These skills translate into the ability to: • reason and make intelligent decisions

Cognitive Training and Therapy Can Clear the Roadblocks to Success
Millions of intelligent and gifted children are working far below their potential each year. We all want to insure our children’s gifts, talents, and abilities are developed to full potential, in this world of fierce competition. Children often go through school unprepared to meet the challenges of each proceeding school year, even though they are potentially capable of doing the work. Tutoring and extra help give a temporary solution to a problem that reoccurs. How do we intervene and break this cycle of frustration?
