Hi, I attended the Multiply Course as well as the Graduate course from the Institutes before my 14 month old son contracted a virus that passed to his brain. He had been learning through the math, Intelligence bits and reading prior to his injury. In short, I would not recommend the Injury Course UNLESS you have an injured child and wish to enter into the program for a brain injured child, as it is prerequisite for an evaluation from the staff to create a specific program for your child. They required both myself and my husband to attend in order to have our son evaluated. We would do ANYTHING for him, don't get me wrong, but to pay to hear them recite from the book, with little further knowledge imparted was simply a waste of our precious time and money. There is little in the Brain Injury Course, as with the Multiply, that was not in the books. As with the How to Multiply Course, if you have read the books and purchased the DVDs of the lectures, you will only be hearing them read from the 20 and 30 year old stories in the books. All lectures are straight from the books, and they only introduce the actual programs from the How to Teach your baby to Read, Math and Mutliply (Intelligence Bits). You need to read and reference the books for the actual programs. If you grasp the information they are imparting and purchase the specific books on how to teach your baby to read and the math, which lay out the specific methods, the lectures are primarily just to "convince" you early education works. If you are using the brill kids math and reading program, they are a VERY similar method, just in computer form. If you are looking to be inspired, then by all means I would recommend the Multiply course, if only to introduce you to the amazing children of the Evan Thomas Institutes, made up mostly of the staff children. You can only imagine the materials and resources these children have, as well as how inspiring it is to see a a professional mom at work. Please feel free to ask any questions.
