The Fueling Brains -- Coaching Program for Parents
A 3 step approach to Parent Coaching: Assess, Analyse and Implement
Fueling Brains Parent Application Assessment
The Fueling Brains (FB) Parent Application is a specialized assessment system for measuring the brain performance of young children. The Brain Developmental Assessments are significant and reliable in evaluating the brain’s performance used by Coaches/Teachers/Parents for evaluating the different brain functions to include Working Memory, Inhibitory Control and Cognitive Flexibility.Through a detailed questionnaire, the application records developmental information and categorizes them into red, yellow or green groups (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3) according to their skills levels. The FB Application provides a huge catalog of carefully crafted activities for parents to do with children corresponding to their assessment scores and skills levels. The FB Application focuses on how to improve the weak areas; and how to strengthen the strong areas.

Fueling Brains Application Analysis
Based on the Brain Assessment scores, the Coach will create an individualized Brain Health Report to reflect the true picture of the brain health of the child. The Coach will interpret the Assessments Score by breaking it down further to each of the 3 Executive Function Skill and by 9 Intelligence Markers.To begin with a few Foundation (Tier 3) and Progressing (Tier 2) skills are selected for the Brain Health Report (BHR).Age-specific and skill specific FB Activities are suggested for each skill selected so children can experience customized learning at home with the help of the parents. As each child has different needs and strengths, by doing the recommended FB Activities the child will progress consistently so that they can achieve the Green (Mastery) scores and maintain it as well. The Coach may also select a few Mastery (Tier 1) FB Activities to help the child continue to perform better and explore new avenues of learning and creativity by focusing on their strengths and capabilities.
