The Brain Launch programs develop what we call the Foundational Processing Systems. These are the primary brain processing systems that attention, learning and everyday performance rely upon. There are 3 programs for children ages 5- 11.

Many studies have been conducted over the last several decades on many different cognitive developmental programs. Most studies have had positive results. From that we know that cognitive skills or information processing skills can be improved with the right approach.

The developmental programs that Dr. Helms has developed in the past have been researched and the results have been outstanding. The Brain Launch programs are new and we will have research data on the new programs soon. The pilot programs were delayed due to the Covid pandemic. We will be conducting double blind studies soon and Dr. Helms expects even better results then achieved on his previous programs.

All children can benefit from the programs. Anytime you strengthen a child’s brain processing systems it will improve attention and focus and make learning and thinking more efficient and effective no matter if they are advanced for their age or struggle with learning.

We recommend starting children ages 5-7 with the Pre-Launch Program then advancing to program 1 then program 2. We recommend starting children 8 -11 with Program 1 then advancing to program 2. You will have access to all 3 programs, so if you start a child on program 1 and it is too difficult you will be able to go back and start the child with Pre-Launch.

Your instructions are delivered on the screen, but the child does the exercises off screen. We feel that children need to develop these processing systems in the real 3-dimensional world for best results. It is so important to do productive tasks off screen in today’s technology world. Kids are on screens way too much.

We designed the programs to be so user-friendly that you will not need any special training to deliver them in a very effective manner. We will always be available if you have questions or need some guidance.

• Brain Launch Programs were designed to be so user-friendly they do not require any training to deliver.
• They are the only programs that develop information processing systems from the ground up (lower level basic processing systems to higher level, more complex processing systems).
• The exercises develop the Foundational Processing Systems in a face-to-face, one-on-one manner, not on a screen.
• Our programs are fun (most children enjoy the challenge).
• Our programs are very affordable. Programs like ours in a clinical setting could easily cost between $3000 and $5000.

Yes. It will improve what we call Real-World Attention skills or the ability to pay attention in a classroom or when you are talking to them. Many children can focus on a screen for hours but have difficulty paying attention in the real world. This is one reason that the exercises are not done on a screen. Also, you are strengthening other processing systems that attention relies upon. If a child cannot process information effectively they will shift attention to other things to avoid the frustration.

Read the Foundational Processing Systems section on the home page to get a better understanding of the many processing systems the brain launch programs develop and see common symptoms that children exhibit when they have underdeveloped processing systems.

The exercises are done in a step-by-step sequential order one section at a time. Once your child passes a section and you select passed, you cannot go back to that section. You must go to the next section. This is done so your child is building a strong processing foundation from the ground up (you would not build a house foundation from the top down).

You can skip a section but cannot go back to the section you skipped. You must do sections in sequential order. This is done so your child is building a strong processing foundation from the ground up (you would not build a house foundation from the top down).

Yes. When you log into your account it will come up at the last exercise that you passed.

All kids are different, but most children enjoy the challenge and succeeding. Also, it is a change from doing schoolwork. We have designed an optional reward program that we find motivates many kids.

Each child is different, but most children will start to show some improvement after about 10 sessions. The improvement will gradually improve over time when they start getting use to their new stronger foundational processing system. The first thing many parents see is an increase in their self-confidence and self-esteem. Read our blog, “Expectations of Improvements for My Child” with observations you should start to notice as you progress through the program.

We recommend 45-60 minutes sessions at least 2 to 3 times per week.

Most children are ready for the next more advanced program when they complete a program, no matter what the age.

They should be able to recognize the letters of the alphabet and know numbers 1-9.

It depends on what type of disability and how severe it is.

Physical Disability – Your child may not be able to do some of the Sensory Motor exercises.

Visual Disability – May not be able to do exercises that require good visual acuity. If your child has at least 20/50 best correctable vision they should be able to do most of the exercises.

Hearing Disability – May not be able to some of the auditory exercises and some that require listening comprehension.

Mental Disability – If very severe, may not be able to do many exercises. If disability is moderate or mild you should start with the Pre-LAUNCH Program no matter what the age.

You should know if your child can do the exercise before your 14-day free trial ends by looking over the exercises.

Yes. At the beginning of each program you will find, in addition to the program overview, some resources for your use. One of those are the very important ‘Print Materials’. You will find instructions there to click the link and then use a password to download the print materials as a ‘PDF‘ file.
Save the password as you’ll need it to open the PDF file so that you can print them on your printer.

The Brain Launch Programs are designed to be used by the instructor. That is, by the child’s parent or other person who uses the system to ‘coach’ the child. Any device that uses an internet web browser can use our programs. However, we suggest that you avoid smaller smartphones as they require a lot of scrolling and their use can steal the coach’s attention from appropriately interfacing with the child.

Yes. However, setting up the program is not required when used with one child. You simply log in and go to the appropriate program. Then use the easy to follow directions in the ‘General Instructions’ found at the beginning of each program.

There are also strategically located videos for such things as the correct way to setup the program for use with more than one child. The program tracks the progress of each child. So, it is important to correctly log in for each.

We also have a “Frequently Asked Questions section where you can add your own questions and/or answers. Of course, if we can be of assistance, you can use the handy chat feature in the bottom right corner of each screen to chat or send us questions when we are not available.

Each child will has a unique identifier of your choosing. You can use their name, nickname, a number, or whatever you like. Then, simply log in as the correct child to resume the program where you last left off.

When the program is purchased for more than one child, the additional children are not listed on the Account page. Only one child is listed there and their information is entered at the time of purchase. It can be changed anytime.

To enter the other children’s information, go to the subscriptions page using the ‘Subscriptions’ button in the navigation menu on the right. Once there, click on the text to the right of the appropriate subscription listed under the main menu interface which says “Sub Accounts”. This will take you to the page where you setup accounts for your other children.
