SPECIAL REPORT:

"BrainWare Safari Software For Chicago School Kids - A Trip To Success"

This week I was privileged to be in attendance atJoe Marchetti’srestaurant to meet an impressive group of business people and a company with strong convictions and belief in their products. BrainWare - the flagship product of Learning Enhancement Corporation (LEC),
(http://www.brainwareforyou.com) is a shining example of a Midwest company pulling the right people and support together for not just new product, but a new movement, in educational products. It was also very refreshing to learn that this company funded&built itself up with committed people they know personally, not by running to the nearest venture capital firm.

The mix of individuals this evening worked like a well tuned orchestra - you had everyone from, of course, the CEO of Learning Enhancement Corporation and his section - based in Chicago on Wacker Drive, to Jann Honore, area development director for the United Negro College Fund, to "our very own" Merri Dee, Director of Community Relations and WGN-TV's Children's Charities, to Peter Kline, Author of "Why America's Children Can't Think", various Doctors of Optometry and people of other disciplines were there and finally Mr. John Schneider, of Mr. Kent inSmallvilleand "Bo" Duke ofDukes of Hazzardfame was there to support getting the word out about this company and it's products...

Laptops running the software for all to try out...Laptops running the software for all to try out......What struck me as so encouraging about Mr. Schneider was his personal belief and convictions about the product and the impact it has on the person using it. He is a genuine man who does not flippantly choose things to support, as is evidenced by his work (Approx. $3 Billion Raised) since the inception of the Children's Miracle Network (http://www.cmn.org/) and his well informed comments you'll hear in our exclusive interview with him a few more minutes into this Podcast.

The numbers appear to back up these convictions. Outcomes are becoming more the rage nowadays, where the real impact can be identified both quantitatively and qualitatively. One example of outcomes, as measured by pre- and post-testing with the
Woodcock-Johnson III Cognitive Battery, showed significant growth for the a testing group using BrainWare Safari: 4 years and 2 months average improvement in cognitive skills, compared to 4 months improvement for the control group. 1 year and 11 months average improvement in tests of achievement (reading and math) compared to 1 month for the control group.

Learning Enhancement Corporation earlier in theday had donated thousands of dollars worth of software and support to Jordan Community School in Chicago. The students will benefit from about 30 workstations set up with BrainWare Safari.

It's great to see a company have a heart for children in such an area of need - education - that crosses and serves all socioeconomic levels of society. It makes sense that a company like this would take root in the "Heartland".
