Mission, Philosophy and Intent Statement

 Mission:

• To evaluate a child’s functional levels in vision, auditory, language, manual and motor skills.

• To provide individualized comprehensive programs from a multi-disciplinary drug-free approach to accelerate and improve the physical, mental, developmental, cognitive and emotional needs of all children. 

• To provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to live and to help each child identify and cultivate his or her greatest potentials. 

• To provide a curriculum that will foster successful, healthy, fulfilling, and informed life.

• To prevent disrupted adoptions and maltreatment of children by families due to the complex behaviors of prenatal brain damage.

• To train parents in strategies to help maximize their child’s potential through INEP (individual neurodevelopment-education plan).

• To educate parents about the stages of  normal and abnormal child development, attachment and attachment disorder, grief and loss, and trauma providing strategies to successfully parent their brain damaged child.

• To stop parent/family abuse that may end in divorce of untrained, loving couples.

• Our children experience the world differently... we help put the pieces together by understanding the developmental level of your child, accessing the brain's plasticity and branching effect. We help your child build new neural connections by utilizing programs and fun activities to encourage reorganization and thinking.

Philosophy

The CAN LEARN philosophy implies a continuum of function ranging from a low of coma, to a high of genius. All children are on this continuum.  When children with developmental or learning struggles are given the opportunity and specific stimulation will, in most cases, reach their fullest potential to lead a happy and productive future.  

Toni Hager and staff of CAN LEARN are not licensed to practice medicine.  Individualized therapeutic programs are based upon experience and represent suggestions to the family.  Each family is encouraged to make its own decisions regarding which specific program techniques and methodologies it wishes to utilize for the child.  If medical or other licensed professional advice is needed, please consult a licensed physician or other licensed professional.
