What I'm struggling with as an educator is WHICH program would help my students the most in a 1:1 intervention model. I don't have a lot of time with my students each week, so something I can use a little at a time would be the best. I've considered training in PACE (available through LearningRX), but can't find ANYTHING on your website about this company/program. I'd love some feedback on PACE, if you have some. THANKS!

The product developer (Posit Science) seems to base such a claim on your study, which, as I have said before, sounds misleading to me. You do provide a more accurate description of the results of your own study in the quote I highlight above. Please let me know if you want me to make any clarification. Hello Liz,

I would like to see it in complete context. The results don't support grandiose claims that the program "helps rejuvenate one's brain 10 years" or similar, which we hear all too often.
