What Parents and Professionals Have Said about the Strategy Training Program

• I liked the many different strategies you showed the children (in a child friendly way, too!) which they can utilize in school and at home. The binder was neatly organized so that the children can use it on their own.

• My daughter’s reading grade has improved from a C to a B+ this quarter. She now
  uses her strengths in visual learning and drawing to help her read, understand, and remember.

• My son truly seemed to be interested in this class. He has really tried to take all the
  concepts in and says he will use them in the upcoming school year.

• The strategies were excellent and apply to a variety of situations.

• The memory strategies are a great tool to use. ‘B.E. V.E.R.Y. G.O.O.D.’ is a great way to remember how to pay attention.

• The token reward system worked well as a positive reinforcer.

• I see a change in my daughter. She is more confident about herself. I can now help her to better herself in school and at home. I also understand more about what she needs.

• I benefited from the program because I learned different study skills to help my son study for tests and ways to remember homework and tests.

• We were able to keep a binder filled with ideas.

• My son looked forward to weekly sessions. Many areas of improvement: attitudes, knowledge, and application of skills. He has a better understanding of himself and how to learn and study.

• The techniques were practical and easy to apply to schoolwork. My son listened and took to heart the concepts. (From a parent who is also an elementary school principal)

• As parents, my husband and I also found the token system and reward coupons very interesting. Your charts are very straight forward and look like something that we can stick with. This program also helped me to be more organized.

Dr. Kristin Bewick offered her Study Skills course through North Pocono School District Community Education in the summer of 2010. The course was well received by students and parents. General consensus of parents was that they liked the course because not only did their children learn to study, but they were included in every step of the learning process as well. Students also seemed to enjoy the course, as most students attended every class.

I could not be more supportive of Dr. Bewick’s program designed to foster organizational and study strategies, and enhance skills in the child-parent team. I have witnessed firsthand the success Dr. Bewick has achieved with our patients at the NeuroSensory Center, and have been impressed with the professional manner in which the program is delivered, as well as the quality of the experience for the students.
Dr. Bewick’s program not only achieves concrete academically-oriented objectives, but, just as importantly, it increases students’ psychological well-being. The result—happier, more self-confident children.

The Strategy Training Program is an innovative and well developed learning program for students to assist them in developing appropriate learning strategies to enhance their cognitive development and level of academic achievement. Clinical facilitators and parents are valuable components to the training program in order to ensure a successful implementation of specific learning strategies. The ultimate goal of improved learning and cognitive efficiency should indeed be witnessed through the use of the Strategy Training Program.
