Medical Expense Plan For Your ADHD Condition

Medical Expense Plan For Your ADHD ConditionADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a serious condition and has been called 'the silent killer' because of the number of lives it has taken. Not only are ADHD kids seen to be misbehaving, but in many cases the misbehavior has contributed to the depression of their parents, and maybe even to the loss of a child or even an entire family. The death rate for ADHD patients is about 30 percent.In addition to the difficulties the parents of ADHD kids experience with learning how to treat the condition, there is also the financial burden that goes along with this disorder. Because of the severity of this disorder and the cost of treatment, some people do not seek therapy. That is exactly the problem with the little ones who have ADHD. They are not seen by doctors as having problems, so they tend to drop out of school and leave their parents hanging.As parents of ADHD kids, we want our kids to be successful. We want them to excel in s chool, to be able to get into colleges and universities, and most importantly, to succeed in their careers. However, we need help.When we turn our attention to how to help our kids with ADHD, the first thing that we realize is that our budget has already gone dry. We have already exhausted the resources that our income can provide, and we cannot afford another dime of that income. So our first thought is to seek out assistance from therapists, teachers, coaches, and doctors. However, we do not know how to find ADHD tutoring services, since these services do not seem to exist in our area.That is when we get really frustrated and start looking for other options for the ADHD situation, like ADHD counseling or therapy. Unfortunately, all of these solutions do not address the financial aspect of the situation.We want to help our kids, but we need to figure out how to make sure that we pay the bills each month while trying to solve the problems of ADHD. One way to do this is by finding th e right ADHD deduct tutoring medical expense plan that is suited to your situation.This type of plan would be designed for a child's case and includes a variety of benefits. It would cover medical expenses, therapy, as well as the cost of using the services of qualified and licensed tutors. Whether you need a tutor for the home, a private lesson, or even a day-long session, this type of plan will cover all of your needs.

Closing the Attainment Gap Revolutionary new Tutorfair app

Closing the Attainment Gap Revolutionary new Tutorfair app The attainment gap is widening In its latest report, The Sutton Trust shows  the growing trend of private tuition and how this has the potential to widen the UK’s educational attainment gap. The Sutton Trust finds: “Poorer pupils in England get less help with their homework than their better-off classmates, with half (50%) of the most disadvantaged 15-year olds saying their parents regularly helped with their homework, compared to 68% of their better-off classmates”. Tutorfair On-Demand - closing the attainment gap Tutorfair Foundation’s new app allows free instant access to volunteer maths tutors.  The new app  allows disadvantaged students to connect with a maths tutor at the click of button. This instant messaging platform means more UK students can receive free support.   The pilot kicks off this September with  5 schools.  The app will be  staffed by volunteers, many of whom are tutors on Tutorfair.com.  Using  instant messaging, the preferred medium for the age group targeted, the tutors will be able to help students from these schools whenever they need it.   Pete Kirby, Director of the Tutorfair Foundation  says: “For the first time, disadvantaged students from anywhere in the UK can access free tuition at the exact moment they need it.” This is key given the Sutton Trust finding that talented young people from less well-off backgrounds  don't receive enough  support. Students from more affluent backgrounds have access to the help  they need to thrive through private tutors. Pete says: “More and more children are getting tutors. All of us at Tutorfair are proud that we can help those who are currently missing out”.   Tutorfair’s innovative business model uses technology to help more and more students regardless of ability to pay. The Tutorfair On-Demand app is  funded by a grant from the Nesta Click Connect Learn fund. The project is  supported by the Office for Civil Society.

Using Khan Academy for GMAT Prep

Using Khan Academy for GMAT Prep GMAT MBA Admissions Blog If you don't know what Khan Academy is, watchthis. When it comes to GMAT prep, using Khan Academy can be a very effective tool for refreshing basic skills, but there's a catch. KA content is aligned to thecommon core state standardsfor math. The GMAT is NOT aligned to the common core. (read more) Using_Khan_Academy_for_GMAT_Prep Unless you know what you're doing, using KA will result in you learning a lot of math that you don't need to know for the GMAT, and not learning content that will help you in unanticipated ways. Don't get me wrong - I love math, and I love KA, and I highly recommend using it to learn all kinds of thing... after you get an awesome score on the GMAT. I'm a coach on KA (something anyone can register for - not an official title) and most of my GMAT students are students on KA as well. That way, I can control what they learn and don't learn. Obviously, I can't do that for all of you, but I can give you a list of the common core standards that will appear on the GMAT: First, you should register for an account on KA. Then, go to thecommon core map Now, check out the attached pdf for a list of the standards you should work on. Keep in mind that you may already know a lot of this, but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. *** One more thing - there is some GMAT prep material on KA. Salman (Sal) Khan solves all the quant problems in the 11th OG in a series of 95 videos. Sal's a brilliant guy, but this isn't really test prep. His approach to almost all the problems is a frontal assault - none of the tricks and tactics that successful test takers use all the time.In addition, the 11th OG is hard to find, the videos are hard to navigate even if you have the 11th edition, and, finally, the guy behind GMAT QUANTUM (Mahendra Dabral), does the same thing much better - and with recent OG's.Check it out. -- John L Easter Founder: Owl Test Prep john@owltestprep.com 773.401.9445

Bilingual Program

Bilingual Program Bilingual Program What is the Bilingual.hu Program? We are a private, non-profit, tuition-based educational enterprise operating in Hungarian state educational institutions. As such, we are a public-private partnership that has been providing unique educational opportunities to hundreds of Hungarian families since 2001. What does Bilingual.hu teach? We operate our nationally accredited program in three primary schools and two kindergartens in Budapest and its environs. Our primary school program encompasses 1stthrough 8thgrade and involves nearly every subject in the curriculum, making it possible for teachers of diverse backgrounds to draw on their training and experience and deliver quality teaching tostudents aged 7 to 14.In our kindergarten program, children aged 3 to 7 are immersed in a bilingual environment using the one person, one language model. Within this context, we provide high-quality early childhood education in English through play and everyday situations as well asset activities, resulting in successful language acquisition from a very young age. What does Bilingual.hu offer that makes our program different? (1) We provide professional developmenttraining opportunities at multiple points throughout each school year, starting with in-depth orientation and training in August prior to starting the school year.

Need A Brainpower Boost Salute The Sun

Need A Brainpower Boost Salute The Sun Photo by yogicphotos via Flickr. According to a recent study, a mere 20 minutes of Hatha Yoga practice  significantly  improved participants (a group of female undergraduate students) speed and accuracy of recall on memory tests, providing them with a heightened ability to retain information and maintain focus. A common sequence of poses in Hatha Yoga is the Sun Salutation, and consists of various, flowing poses that incorporate partial inversions that direct blood flow to the brain.  This sequence is excellent to perform during those mornings when you need to get your blood flowing without having to leave your apartment or dorm. The video below will guide you through the sun salutation movements: Traditional Sun Salutation Also, for all you manly men out there, youll never have to question your masculinity while doing yoga again, thanks to the rise of Broga. Hare Pose Photo courtesy of lovemyyoga.com The hare pose, also known as  Sanangasana,  is another inverted yoga pose with brain-boosting benefits. Its known to provide maximum extension of the spine, increasing elasticity and increasing the flow of fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and can be done following the sun salutation. Feathered Peacock Pose (Pincha Mayurasana) Photo by David Martinez via  The Yoga Journal The Feathered Peacock Pose is essentially one of the ultimate inversion poses, with advanced versions not requiring the use of a wall. However, since most of us probably arent advanced yogis, it would be best to use a wall to rest your feet on while you hold the pose. In addition to drawing blood flow down to the brain, you are also drawing it down to your lungs and working your upper body. Tai Chi Photo by Joel Santos Photography via Flickr. Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art that focuses on slow, meditative movements, has been shown in a study conducted by the University of South Florida to increase brain volume and improve mental activity, and may even delay the onset of Alzheimers disease. In the tai chi group, we saw brain growth of one-half of 1 percent over eight months, said James Mortimer, lead researcher and USF professor of epidemiology and biostatistics  in an interview. Like yoga, tai chi is a low impact and continuously-flowing exercise requiring heightened mental awareness. Many scientists speculate that this mental engagement may be the reason for their significant impact on the brain. High-Intensity Interval Training Photo courtesy of swide.com Commonly referred to as HIIT,  this type of training is high-impact and involves alternating bouts of high-intensity exercise followed by a rest period, which is repeated for a short duration, typically 20 to 30 minutes, or even as little as 8 to 10 depending on how hard youre working.  An example would be similar to a Tabata workout (a form of HIIT), where you would perform 20 seconds of all-out intense exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for eight rounds. High-intensity exercise triggers the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic factor that plays an important role in the survival of neurons and synapse plasticity.  In a study involving high-intensity exercise and BDNF, researchers found that,  vocabulary learning was 20 percent faster after intense physical exercise as compared to the other two conditions. This condition also elicited the strongest increases in BDNF and catecholamine levels. The other two conditions within the study were low-impact running and rest, which essentially portrays high-intensity exercise as superior to low-intensity exercise in terms of cognitive improvement and learning performance. However, you may be wondering how this is possible due to the positive studies cited above mentioning the benefits of low-impact exercises on brain power and memory, which are seemingly contradictory; the bottom line is, while high-intensity exercise releases BDNF, low-intensity exercise like weight training releases an insulin like growth factor, which promotes neural survival in ways high-intensity exercise doesnt. Brain health seems to be more of a balancing act than a cut-and-dry system, which is why it is recommended to include a mixture of the previous exercises in order to reap optimal brain-boosting effects (just as long as this mixture doesnt constitute attempting to consume coffee while performing the Feathered Peacock Pose).

5 Skills to Develop Over Summer

5 Skills to Develop Over Summer While the summer holidays offer students time off from the regular routine of school, it's also the ideal time to improve academic skills like reading and even job skills to increase one's chances of getting accepted into a university. Here's a list of 5 skills to develop over the summer. Boost Literacy Skills Broaden your vocabulary by reading the latest best-selling book in your favourite genre while lounging in a chair at the beach or pool. When you discover a word that you don't know the meaning off, look it up in the dictionary. Then, write it down and try to use that work in some of your daily conversation with others. Not only will learning new words sharpen your communication skills, it'll help you earn higher grades in English. Learn New Job Skills Many students work either part-time or full-time during summer vacation. Instead of just flipping burgers at the local McDonald's, seek out a job opportunity that builds job skills that will look good on a college application. For example, aspiring nurses can seek jobs in hospitals where they interact with medical staff and patients. Up-and-coming engineers can secure positions as assistants to surveyors. Prospective teachers can find summer jobs with an opportunity to work with children and build their own leadership skills. The point is to secure a summer job that is meaningful to your career interest and one where you can learn new skills. Enhance Communication Skills Strengthening your communication skills builds confidence and your own personal presence. It's also an important tool for success in school and work. Consider taking a summer workshop in communication skills to learn how to express ideas concisely and clearly. Even throw a summer party and test out your new skills. After all, learning should be fun! Brush-Up on Homework Skills Homework is an important aspect of the educational system, as it has been proven to enhance learning outcomes. Brush up on your self-regulation skills that entail homework, such as setting goals, time management, self-monitoring and completing tasks. Pick a subject, such as maths, where you would like to practice and learn more. Go ahead and set up your own mini-curriculum for the summer and complete it independently. When it comes to homework skills, practice makes perfect. Strengthen Academic Weaknesses If there is a specific subject that you're weak in, such as maths or science, take a summer course in that subject. These courses don't entail a lot of time, so you don't have to worry about losing summertime fun. Zero in on where you're weak, and sign up for a course that covers those areas. When school rolls around again, you'll be a step ahead. The trick to developing skills during your summer vacation is to pick skills that have true meaning in your everyday life and future. Be sure to integrate the time set aside to develop those skills with some fun by enjoying friends and summertime activities like jet skiing or surfing.
