Be a Hero

You can be a Cog1st hero. It can happen in one conversation by asking one question.

Find a school or after-school program in your community.

Ask the principal if they have students (age seven and above) that, in spite of their school’s best efforts, they are not reaching.

Tell the principal that if the school will agree to test the cognitive skills of all their students Cognitive First will give them a database and access to the 35 minute online evaluations at no cost. This alone informs and equips teachers, learning specialists and RTI coordinators as never before.

Encourage the principal to learn more about our free offer of the Sound Analysis exercise for elementary students or contact us and apply for our “Turning Point” package of brain training evaluations and exercises as a free demonstration project (a $20,000 value) for ten free and reduced school lunch students that they will select. You can stop here. You already a hero. The next two steps are optional but they make you a superhero.

Assure the principal that if their school qualifies (and they can) you will help find advocates and volunteers in the community to make sure students participating in the Turning Point package have the twelve weeks of encouragement and coaching they need to succeed. This program is a one-time intervention for a student but the gains in learning skills and processing speed last a lifetime.

And tell the principal that we at Cog1st know that their need is probably much greater than 10 students. If they will commit to the ten, we will work to help them find the funding to sponsor any additional students they want to help and…

One more thing. You are now a hero and a superhero. More than that you are changing children’s lives, giving parents new hope and making educators more effective. We don’t have a super-superhero status, but if we did it would be for telling a friend or family member that, in a few minutes, they can do in their community what you have done in your community. OK. Look, if you do that we just decided, you are a Super-Superhero!

You will be reaching schools and students. You will help children in your community (and other communities) be among those who benefit from this offer. Call a school principal and tell them because…how a child learns, matters! Be a Cog1st Hero—Save a School.
