Featured Speakers
Jennifer Kolari – Parenting and Brain Development
Small changes in the way you interact with your kids can stimulate the production of Oxytocin in their brains, a chemical proven to increase trust, decrease anxiety and build resilience. Join Kolari as she uses case studies to demonstrate her CALM technique to stimulate brain development and build strong relationships and happier families.

Dr. Patricia Bucci – Preparing a Future Generation
What knowledge, skills, attitudes and values must schools and families instill in students to ensure success in an unknown future. Dr. Bucci sheds light on new research that proves successful learning occurs when students take ownership and understand their goals.

Annette Goodman – Rewiring your Brain
Each area of the brain has a critical role in the task of reading and comprehending information. Goodman outlines the role of each cognitive area, how deficiencies can be improved and how addressing the underlying problem can effect neuroplastic changes in the student’s brain making them effective life-long learners.
