The program's theme song, “Pure Imagination,” … so very much what defines the APOGEE™ Paradigm. Yes, I applaud a vision of a world where imagination holds its eternal quest.

Back to School Success Strategy!
By Dr. Robert DeMaria

Hello! This is Dr. Bob with another
Healthy Living Tip for You!

This is the time of year when moms with children of all ages send their pride and joy off to school. There are children who are heading out for the first time while others are beginning a new level; first grade to elementary and/or junior to senior high school. Some are even sending their children off to their freshmen year of college. The dream and passion of parents of all children is the goal of great scholastic achievement. So how do you assist your child in getting ready for another school year?

Strive to provide the best environment and possibilities for your child—regardless of their age. The real key is getting to the basics. I have described a plan in great detail in Dr. Bob’s Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days”. The fuel you provide your child first thing in the morning has a huge impact on their blood sugar all day long. Starting the day off with a pastry or breakfast cereal creates a blood sugar roller coaster of highs and lows. Children will have a reduced attention span when their blood sugar cycles up and down throughout the day; sleepy periods during the mid morning and afternoon has the potential to torpedo even the best of students. The best advice I can give is to provide a protein based breakfast including eggs with veggies, quinoa with almonds, veggies with protein (I use Applegate turkey or chicken).

Feed the brain and body with the right oil. The brain craves an adequate quality source of oil to fuel the entire cortex. I encourage our patients to use up to one tablespoon of Organic Omega Nutrition High Lignan Flax Oil at one tablespoon per one hundred pounds. There is a long chained metabolized from flax oil called DHA which is critical for long term brain and behavioral health. Individuals of all ages will appreciated the improved brain function by adding liquid gold or flax oil to one’s diet.

Improved Reading Performance with APOGEE Somatic Phonics™ ~ A Breakthrough for the Dyslexic, The Learning Disabled, the Underachieved Reader.

Is your child struggling with dyslexia? Is he or she a misunderstood learner? APOGEE Learning Enhancement Training Systems™ is the answer. APOGEE Somatic Phonics™ is an integrated system developed for the dyslexic student to assure reading success. Twenty-eight years of documented success define the APOGEE Somatic Phonics™ Program. Reading with APOGEE Somatic Phonics™ becomes easier, word knowledge becomes more developed, and comprehension, spelling and writing improve. With a new and masterful command of reading, interest in other subject areas expand, focus is improved and grades soar to new heights.

APOGEE Learning™ takes a holistic approach to serving all learners at all ages and in all grades, including the special needs of those with learning disabilities. All programs are developed and administered by Rose Marie Raccioppi, a state-certified, honored, awarded and highly acclaimed educator, within a warm and nurturing environment. Each one-on-one session is personalized and available in all subjects.

With APOGEE Somatic Phonics™, specific letter sounding practices are initiated allowing one to confidently learn the distinction among letter sounds and letter names. Seeing, hearing, touching and perceiving define the scope of reading and the reading process. Observation itself is reading. Once the sound association is clear, the visual symbol is introduced via a three-dimensional object. Once that step is mastered, a two-dimensional representation is introduced. It is a truly integrated multi-sensory experience.

Each letter read and sounded is evaluated via APOGEE Cognitive Kinesiology™, a process that allows the student to understand the integrative action of the mind-body energy system. This process is utilized to determine if the letter brings about a stress response. If a stress response is found, a series of activities are initiated to address the specific finding. Once the stress response is abated, which is the result of the newly introduced experience of rebuilding the structure of the physical letter, one proceeds to view the printed word with renewed energy and focus. It is well known that people avoid that which is painful or stressful. By eliminating the stress associated with reading, the process then becomes an exploratory and pleasurable experience. Improved reading performance is a guaranteed outcome.

Rose Marie Raccioppi, MS FABI is state-certified in regular and special education, supervision and administration. With advanced studies in psychology, education, cognition, stress management and holistic health, Raccioppi's program is comprehensive. In addition to her academic excellence, she is an exhibiting artist, published poet and the Poet Laureate of Orangetown, New York.
