S.M.A.R.T./Boost Up
All children attending New Visions School are involved in a program called S.M.A.R.T./ Boost Up. A combination of physical and classroom activities, the curriculum stimulates high levels of pre-academic and early academic development among all children, from those at risk for failing due to receiving too little early stimulation to those fully prepared for academic learning.

Hemisphere Specific Auditory Stimulation

The Hemisphere Specific Auditory Stimulation (HSAS) program is geared towards those children who have difficulty perceiving, processing and retaining speech sounds and requires only a head set and a specially designed audio tape that is listened to each day for ten minutes.


NeuroTechnology
For those children who have behavioral concerns, difficulty attending in the classroom or who have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, New Visions offers two forms of NeuroTechnology, EEG Neurofeedback and/or Auditory Visual Entrainment. These sessions, involving computer technology, have an impressive success rate in getting children off medications and in training them to simultaneously relax, focus and attend.
