BrainTools is a highly specialized center that is dedicated to developing children's learning capacity using scientifically based clinical tools and practices supported by the latest research in neuroscience and education. Our mission is to create fluid and dynamic personalized clinical curriculums that reflect both strengths and weaknesses across cognitive, speech, oral language (listening and speaking) and written language (reading and writing) domains. Our assessment and therapy practices are contextualized in an executive function model that has been concretized in a series of copyrighted illustrations developed by our founder Dr. Barbara Roca. Grounding our practices in an executive function model helps children learn to select and use self regulating strategies during interventions that are directed at remediating their learning challenges across speech, and oral and written language. BrainTools is comprised of a group of bilingual speech and language pathologists that understand how cognitive, executive, linguistic, and reading processes interact in children learning to read across different languages. This allows us to tailor our assessment and intervention practices to meet the individual needs of each child so that their learning challenges are remediated. It also allows us to identify young children at risk of developing oral and written language delays and intervene early so that they do not experience learning challenges in an academic context.
