Observable Phenomena Observable phenomena are: • Behaviors that emerge everyday- both in the classroom and at home. • What you and others have seen, heard or directly experienced described in specific label free terms-free from opinion or speculation. • Observable phenomena are evidence that a neurodevelopmental strength or weakness may exist. © 2016 All Kinds of Minds is a registered mark of Q. E. D. Foundation.

Demystification occurs in a series of conversations with students that… Remove the mystery surrounding learning challenges so that students can begin to understand, appreciate, and manage the way their mind works best. © 2016 All Kinds of Minds is a registered mark of Q. E. D. Foundation.

What a teacher said… I think demystification is one of the missing links in education. We teach, hand out report cards, talk to parents but often kids don’t know what kind of learner they are. In demystification we tell children their strengths and we talk about some areas of weakness. Then we share with them ways to use their strengths to help them be a better student. It’s a way to help students help themselves. -5 th grade teacher © 2016 All Kinds of Minds is a registered mark of Q. E. D. Foundation.

It’s a Cheese Breezer This piece of equipment is designed for home use in the preparation of sauces, dips, soups, etc. It operates by using innovatively designed “shred coils” which simultaneously shred, churn, and heat the cheese. The shredding action significantly increases the surface area of the cheese, thus speeding heating and melting. There is the added feature of being able to add other ingredients, such as salsa or spices, during the process via a side attachment. Up to five one-pound blocks of cheese can be processed at one time in a little under 3 minutes. © 2016 All Kinds of Minds is a registered mark of Q. E. D. Foundation.
