Brain Training Programs

The combination of brain training and executive functioning support that Frankenberger Associates and Oxford Academy have collaborated on over the years has always been a resounding success. Caryl and her team are experts in helping students see major improvements in focus, organization, and memory, making daily tasks and long-term goals feel so much more manageable. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone wanting to strengthen cognitive skills and executive functioning!

My child received a 5 on her AP Gov’t exam! She is beyond excited and so am I. It’s been a journey and you were instrumental in getting her through that class. Your services have been invaluable!

I have had the pleasure of learning from Caryl Frankenberger for almost fifteen years, witnessing firsthand her expertise and unwavering commitment to neurodiverse learners. Caryl has the ability to make complex concepts about learning and cognitive development accessible—a skill I first observed in 2010 during one of her presentations, where she captivated a packed auditorium of educators with ease. Her work has left a lasting impact on me and countless others, empowering students, families, and professionals with the tools and understanding they need to thrive in their strengths.

This course was exactly what I needed to feel more confident in my role as Director of Academic Support. The modules were comprehensive and practical with supporting materials to reinforce the topics. The fact that I can continue to access the videos and readings upon completing the course has been a fantastic resource for me. All educators would benefit from this course.

Frankenberger Associates truly understands the way children interact in the real world. This gives them a unique ability to help children for whom social interactions are difficult. In less than one year of weekly sessions, my child has gained a wealth of knowledge about social skills and behavior and new insight into his own and his peers' situations. He has learned, among many things, to "read a room," to slip in and out of conversation easily, how to ask questions and keep a conversation moving along, how to advocate for himself with others, and how to make and keep friends....

My experience with my coach and executive function coaching as a whole has been life changing. Coaching has altered various facets of my daily life, from my morning routine to strategies aiding productivity at school, and a much needed introduction to self-care practices like yoga and meditation. Further, my coach has opened my eyes to the world where negativity does not rule my life. I am now able to recognize my thoughts and actions and reframe them into a more positive outlook. With the guidance of my coach, I have been actively combatting my dependency on extra stimuli that my...

My daughter has struggled socially her entire life. The PEERS program offered at Frankenberger Associates has enabled her to grow not only her social competency skills but also her self confidence and self worth. She had attended social skill groups throughout her entire educational career and a few other private groups and really developed a distaste for them. She was reticent to attend PEERS due past group experiences, but literally after the initial session, was excited to go back and play an active role in growing her skills. The wonderful staff at Frankenberger Associates related to her in a practical, useful...

All seems to be progressing well, small changes leading to better overall functioning, less anxiety and more productivity are the goals being addressed. Looking forward to continued improvement.

I'm so glad I took the Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles course. It introduced some ideas that were new to me, and also brought clarity and cohesion to ideas that I had picked up along the way, but didn’t have a context for. I gained greater fluency in the concepts and terminology that my colleagues in learning support use routinely, so I’m now better prepared to engage in meaningful conversation with them about how our school supports students. The readings and videos were varied and thought-provoking, and the regular meetings with the cohort and the instructors were helpful, motivating, and fun! The...

I am thrilled to share my experience after receiving my certificate from Frankenberger Associates in Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles. This course has truly transformed my approach to working with prospective and current families, as well as lower and middle school faculty, learning support staff, and administration. The valuable tools and insights I gained have deepened my understanding of diverse learning profiles, allowing me to speak confidently and knowledgeably about my candidates. This has fostered trust and collaboration within our community, making a significant impact on our partnerships. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to admission professionals and anyone involved in supporting students....
