AZ School Study (1990-1998)
PARTICIPANTS EXHIBIT REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT IN MATH AND READING
Learning Technics Intercept Program
In 1989, the initial AZ Intercept pilot program started using two small groups of children. The students in the program received twenty minutes of one-on-one training, four times a week from a Learning Technics trained teacher’s aid. One group of students received PNT, and the control group did not. After only three months, the students receiving PNT were improving at a rapid pace.
When the school began to see significant progress in these students’ academic skills, they expanded the program to include 61 students.
All of the students chosen to participate in the study were in the bottom 20% of their class and struggling year after year, accounting for 3% of the total students in the school district. After Physio-Neuro Therapy, a sample of that 3% accounted for 22% of all the honor students in the district!
After completing PNT, all of the AZ students have continued to improve year after year. Progress was measured by comparing SAT scores. The average student demonstrated a gain of 33 percentile points after one year, with additional gains measured in subsequent years despite the fact that they did not continue to receive additional intervention following the first year. Less than 4% of the study participants have required any additional remedial or resource help. These sustained long-term results are quantifiable proof that the ability to learn can be permanently changed though PNT.
Learning Technics’ Research Project (1993-2001)
8 YEAR STUDY SHOWS AMAZING ACADEMIC GAINS IN MATH, SPELLING AND READING
Learning Technics Private School Program
Learning Technics’ private school was opened as an educational research center where PNT could be examined in a controlled environment.
Approximately 51 students were enrolled in the school. Prior to the Research Project, these students were all several years behind their peers in school and lacking self-confidence. Students were tested using the Woodcock-Johnson standard test for school achievement, both before beginning the program, and at completion of the program. The study focused on the scores for reading, spelling, math, and basic battery.
The study found that students who attended the program improved significantly with an average improvement of 1 year, 7 months for basic battery, following just one year of schooling. However, prior to the intervention, previous scores demonstrated only a 3 month improvement per year of schooling. PNT provided the tools they needed to thrive!
Highland Elementary
A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN READING & MATH SKILLS!
Highland School Study
The purpose of this study was to determine if the application of new brain research using the Intercept program could significantly improve struggling students’ ability to turn teaching into learning.
Fifteen students were selected, all of whom were two or more years behind in one or more academic subject. The students were tested before the study and at its conclusion. The graph on the right illustrates the significant gains these students made in both reading and math after completing the PNT program.
