About Us
Brain Training for Cognitive Improvement
The Brain Potential Institute team has been using brain training for cognitive improvement for more than 30 years.
Brain Potential Institute was founded in 2002 by Jane Faulkner Davis as Kid Potential Inc. The company changed its name to the Brain Potential Institute in 2010 to more accurately reflect its purpose and expand its services to include children, teens, adults and seniors.
The company features an exciting new approach to “building better brains.” With a new screening test battery, evaluation can be done of learning skill deficits in individuals as young as three years old, while providing detailed analysis of the strengths and weakness of the skills.
The Power of Brain Training
This powerful proprietary brain training program outperforms tutoring and other brain training programs. The brain training team has successfully treated hundreds of students with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, Asperger’s syndrome and other neurological issues. The individualized training improves the brain’s ability to process information. Much like upgrading the hardware on a computer, it enables the software to run more efficiently, and accept and retain information.
Brain Potential Institute has a 20-person staff and serves typically 20 to 50 students at any given time.
New Online Brain-Training Program
Beginning in 2010, Brain Potential Institute took another giant stride and made available its brain training program worldwide by implementing one-on-one training via Skype. It is the only brain training program available that has expanded its program beyond office visits and allows people to take advantage of it without leaving their home or office. The Skype training has proven highly effective and earned many endorsements by students who have participated.
About Brain Potential Institute
Founded in 2002 under the name "Kid Potential", Brain Potential Institute ("BPI" for short) has been a haven for a number of children and adults who have found school or work just a little too difficult to manage. BPI has evaluated over 2500 students and treated almost a third of those. Some students were simply struggling in school, some were high functioning ADD'ers who found they had simply missed a step somewhere along the line and had fallen behind. Others were evaluated as Low Functioning (IQ's lower than 80 points) individuals who had been relegated to Special Education classes. Many of these students left at grade level or even at an accelerated level, their brains rewired to handle the trials of everyday life.
In 2009 we discovered that Brain Training was not only beneficial to children, but to adults as well, by then we had worked with a number of adults who felt they were at their wits end in work or retirement, we had put them back on their track to success and we learned something more interesting: Adults benefited from Brain Training as well if not better than children! With this new information, we expanded our mission, built a whole new program which expanded our reach to any age group. Finally, in 2010, we changed our name to "Brain Potential Institute" (Not wanting to turn away adults with the Kid Potential brand) and with our internet-based VOLT program, we managed to expanded our reach to include not just the local Houston area, but the entire world. As 2012 rolls in, we are looking forward to a brave new frontier where we work with students from any English-speaking location, helping people from all over the world with brain problems that know no borders.
