Hello Alex
I am very interested in in improving my memory and learning capabilities. Can you please tell me how your brain progam differs from Lumosity.
Thank you
Best Regards
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,
BrainBuilder and Lumosity are similar in that they both offer computer based brain fitness training.
BrainBuilder provides a comprehensive program that includes music and a brain health and nutrition plan that works in conjunction with the computer based training.
BrainBuilder is provided on CD-Rom, whereas Lumosity is a web based program.
The exercises in the two programs differ from each other as does the brain training model. Both are based on the idea that the brain is plastic and will respond positively when the right stimulation is provided.
I cannot speak to the effectiveness of the Lumosity program, but can say that BrainBuilder should provide you with some of the benefits you seek in improving your memory and learning capabilities.
Please let me know if I can be of any help to you. I certainly hope you will give BrainBuilder a go!
My best,
Alex

Alex:
At training we received an article called “Unlocking Potential” published in Autism/Asperger’s Digest in November/December 2005. Is that available on TLP web site? If so, can you direct me to it?
Also, would you be interested in speaking to about 180 parents in the state of CO at some point? We are attending a Parents Encouraging Parents meeting this weekend and the children of the attendees would benefit so much from TLP.
Oh yeah…Chloe (who had 38 words before TLP) said to me last week, “I want that medicine dropper.” Almost fell over!

Amy,
That article and others can be found at http://www.thelisteningprogram.com. Look for the link to News and Articles toward the bottom left of the homepage. You can also order reprints from Advanced Brain Technologies. If you have not reviewed the article on Social Engagement, that should also be of interest to you as well.
I would be interested in speaking to the parent group. If you could touch base with Mandy at the office she can get the ball rolling mandyd@advancedbrain.com. You can also email me directly at alex@advancedbrain.com anytime.
So excited about Chloe’s language development. Go Chloe!

HI Alex,
I really enjoyed the teleconference you did with Rory Stern recently. I have an 8 yo daughter with Dyslexia and ADD. She seems to have more trouble with Language Processing than Auditory processing. Can you tell me how your program addresses each one. Also, my son did Tomatis when he was 4 years old. He did have CAPD, but was more spectrumy rather than the ADDish. It was great for him, but they are sooooo different.
Also, do you know of any one with the ADD/Dyslexia/female profile you know who has done your program and may be willing to talk to another parent?
Thanks, Laurie

Hi Alex,
I was recently sent a link to this site, and to your article,
and this is quite the wonderful project you are working
on! I am so happy to know you now. My name is Allison
Zopel, and I am a professional musician/composer.
I recently spent 5 years in a coma, with severe brain
injuries, (and, working with music), have healed myself
back to life. I have a link to some of the healing music
that came through me while I was waking from the
coma, that is now being played in hospitals, child-care
centers, and other healing centers world-wide. I would
love to share it with you. I have been traveling the country since I have been back to life, speaking with people about my experience, and educating people more about coma, brain injury, and the incredible ability we have to heal. I would love to connect with you sometime, since it seems
we are on a similar path!!
Blessings,
Allison Zopel

I heard there was a book by Alex Doman called: How to Make Your Baby a Genius. I can’t find the book anywhere. Do I have the right information?
October 12, 2009 at 12:57 pm
There are a number of books written by my great uncle Glenn Doman on this topic: How to Teach Your Baby to Read, How to Teach Your Baby Math, How to Multiply Your Baby’s Intelligence, and on. You can learn more by visiting http://www.iahp.org.
