About the Early Learning Nanodegree
NeuroNet's Early Learning suite of software programs and evaluation protocols are excellent resources for therapists providing early intervention services. This suite of programs is designed to help children ages 3 to 6 develop learning readiness by reaching developmental milestones in hearing, motor skills, and communication. These programs may also be appropriate for older children who have developmental delays.
The Early Learning Nanodegree includes (3) three distinct NeuroNet software programs.
NeuroNet Certification Requirements
You must be a licensed therapist to become a Certified NeuroNet Provider:
- audiologists
- speech-language pathologists
- physical therapists
- occupational therapists
- psychologists
- optometrists
- *COTAs, SLPAs, PTAs
*In order for a therapist's assistant to offer NeuroNet, the supervising therapist must also be a licensed NeuroNet Provider.
Once you complete the Early Learning Course you are eligible to apply for NeuroNet Certification. The requirements of NeuroNet Certification go beyond the minimum requirements to obtain CEUs. Additional certification requirements for therapists help us assure that NeuroNet clients have a positive experience with the program. These requirements help maintain a positive reputation of the program for all providers.
Following this online course you will be able to:
- Use the included NeuroNet Software Programs to develop neural networks linking hearing, balance, foot movement, hand movement, listening and talking.
- Adapt NeuroNet exercises to meet individual needs for preschool children ages 3-5 and older children with developmental delays.
- Explain the neuroscience research behind improving attention, memory and learning.
- Apply for NeuroNet Certification to be able to offer NeuroNet to clients.
Early Learning Program Testimonials
From a speech therapist's point of view, it's all about the carryover...
-Marilyn Swearingin, SLP, St. Louis, MO
Many preschool children who come to me with fine motor delays tend to present with delays in other areas, too. The Early Learning Program is a great approach to address many school readiness skills. The structured levels have engaging, developmentally appropriate exercises which are easy enough for parents to continue with at home. I highly recommend this program for the early-intervention and school-based therapist.

Learning Outcomes
1. The participant will list the basic developmental auditory-motor milestones for children birth to 4 and demonstrate games for developing these skills.
2. The participant will demonstrate basic NeuroNet movement exercises addressing vestibular information processing (rhythm, movement and timing) for children ages 3-5.
3. The participant will demonstrate basic Listen, Talk and Write exercises integrating rhythmic speech, air writing, and copying and drawing of geometric forms for children 3-5. The participant will explain the importance of integrating rhythmic hand movement and rhythmic speech.
4. The participant will explain how the neuroscience research can help us understand and improve a patient’s attention by increasing neural synchrony for balance, listening, speaking and rhythmic movement.
5. The participant will demonstrate auditory motor word memory exercises and explain how these exercises systematically move clients into measurable levels of auditory-motor speech automaticity for 2-syllable and then 3-syllable words.

United StatesSticking with it!
My son started the PreK program and it has been great for him! He is happy to do the program and is proud of himself for completing each day. The format has helped with memory retention and following instructions. We will continue the program and most likely move to the next level program when the time comes. For the money this at-home program is well worth the investment! Thank you StepUp!
United StatesJust what our son needed!
We have a 4 yo son that is developmentally delayed. I started StepUp with him last summer using the free trial and readily converted to a subscription when that ran out. We were so impressed with the body awareness skills he gained. He became comfortable in water - even taking swimming lessons. He has learned to ride a pedal bike and a scooter. At the same time his language exploded and he began speaking in full sentences. Though we are still working on clarity with a speech therapist, the StepUp program has been an amazing tool In our lives. Thank you so much for creating a program that can be done daily in the home! A side benefit is that his siblings are doing it too! We now have a 2 yo that is very advanced thanks to doing therapy alongside her brother!
United StatesDynamic Program
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist with over 25 years of experience who is SI certified and Neuronet has been the best treatment modality to come along in several years. When I first trained and worked with the program my initial thoughts were.....This is what OT is all about. The program addresses timing, rhythm, focus, coordination, balance, following of directions, bilateral integration, sequencing, motor planning, and the list goes on. I work with a wide range of diagnoses and it is beneficial for all..... I use it daily in the clinical setting and some families use it as a home program. Either way it is beneficial for children that have a formal diagnosis as well as children without one. Plain and simple, I love this program because it is easy to administer and useful for all children.
United StatesNeuronet
Neuronet has been an amazing addition to our special needs children! The program is exciting, motivating and the kids are really enjoying it! Most importantly we're seeing progress in following directions at increased speeds. As an occupational therapist I particularly appreciate the combination of the brain with the body combination in meeting goals. I strongly believe this product should be made available to all children!
United StatesGreat program
I have been involved with NeuroNet for close to 20 years, My son did the NeuroNet program and I saw improvements academically as well as socially. I also facilitated NeuroNet at a private school where struggling students participated in NN on a daily basis. It was rewarding to see the changes in the students such as improved organization, learning skills, and confidence levels. I feel NeuroNet builds a foundation for the students on which they are able to build and grow in their academics as well as their social and other skills. I highly recommend it for all learners.
