Did you know that there are nearly 50 schools in Minnesota that are using Audio Visual Entrainment (AVE) as an intervention to assist students with memory, focus, anxiety, and overall learning success?

If you are interested in adding this low cost tool to your school’s interventions, sign up for the Neurotechnology (AVE) workshop on Friday, November 12!

Volunteers?

Do you know any parents, high school students, retired individuals, or other community members who are interested in helping with S.M.A.R.T.? 

If so, please contact the MLRC at pr.mlrc@actg.org or call (612) 706-5560.
