    The Learning Clinic is a second home for sure. Every single person working in here has something…read moreunique to offer. This is the place where dreams become possible. There is nothing that the learning clinic cannot do. Whether it be ACT, SAT, math, science, reading, comprehension, the learning clinic will give you the necessary skills to make you a resourceful, proactive, and more confident individual. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Jordi Kleiner, for two years and what we have been able to accomplish together is beyond what my parents and I could have ever imagined. I would also highly recommend Craig Elerkin for ACT and SAT (though he has been able to help me beyond preparing for these tests). The learning clinic grows with you. I have been able to use the clinic throughout high school and I am certain I will continue to use their services in college. Whether your child is 5 years old or 17 it is never too soon or too late to consider the learning clinic. Bring your kids here to allot them the tools to be independent learners and thinkers. The location, the experts, the environment, the guaranteed success, what is there not to love about the clinic!

    I was sent here because of a misdiagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I most likely actually have…read moreAdult ADHD with a co-morbid mix of Social Anxiety Disorder. I was treated like I wasn't capable on anything. The place was very patronizing and the staff very much coddled the clients in both the severely mentally disabled and the not that bad group. I was put in the not that bad group. My peers except for one, (he was a sweetheart), were completely socially stunted. Man, did their parents just not actually try to get them help. One staff member, Megan was very rude and just always in a bad mood. (I'm putting it very nicely) She had no sense of humor and she expected way too much of me. The challenged ones needed way more discipline than me, though they barely got any. This one guy my group was beyond annoying. Nice guy but man would he just not stop talking. I was expected to become friends with him, which is very unreasonable. Since you can't expect people to want to be friends, it just doesn't work that way. I was treated like I couldn't talk for myself, even though I was at least 18 at the time. You had to be overly nice and act like you had the intelligence of a five year old. ASD is over diagnosed because terrible places like this one just want money. I hope this place gets shut down. The name of the place is also very clique and pathetic.

Mindy Park is an outstanding educator who was born to teach children music. Her pedagogy is rooted in technique and skill rather than route memorization. Within two semesters, she was able to place my son far ahead of his school group. NMA offers unparalleled group and individual concerts and recitals in grandiose halls, where pupils learn to play in a professional music setting at a young age. We are excited to see how he grows in his musicianship throughout the years through this prestigious program.

    I was so surprised to see that Kindermusik has not been reviewed yet and we've only known about…read moresince 2009 when we became parents! One of the important things to us as parents was to introduce our kids to music at an early age. We have tested out a variety of different music options here in Evanston, and our favorite is Kindermusik through the Music Academy at Northwestern University. You can start as young as newborn in the Kindermusik Village where both my kids have started - my daughter just finished up the Kindermusik Village session this summer and loved it. She went from just humming songs and melodies to actually having 4 songs memorized and singing very loudly and proudly! Their Our Time is the 18 months - 3.5 years session where it's a parent/tot activity. My son just recently wrapped up Kindermusik's Image That series where he loved the fact that he was dropped off for 30 minutes (it was our Saturday morning coffee break routine while he was in class) and then, we rejoined the group for 15 minutes sharing time. The classes are really great - you have quality materials (books, dvd, toy, etc) and the teachers are really fantastic. Julie Friend is an amazing resource, personable, talented, and we have really loved having her as our teacher. I'm most excited for my son who will be starting Kindermusik for the Young Child, Year One with Pat Heinenman this year because he'll be learning how to play the glockenspiel and sight reading, which is an essential tool for learning any musical instrument. Year Two is learning how to the two-stringed culcimer and the soprano recorder. The other music places are good, too, but our personal preference is Kindermusik as both my children will continue their music education here. They're great to work with, their schedules are flexible and accommodate both the stay-at-home parent and the working parent. The quality of the music education is proven through the results that I've seen with my children.

    I have always had a fiercely inquisitive mind, constantly questioning everything (For instance, if…read moreevolution produces the best and brightest in the species, why does it produce people who don't believe in evolution?). So I was happy to find the interactive, monthly lecture series, Science Cafe. You know this free event is legit, because it's sponsored by Northwestern. Who else knows science better? DePaul? Right. Alumni pay to have their names taken off of buildings. UIC? Uh-huh. I've seen more sophisticated scientific breakthroughs in a Dustin Diamond science project. The event is held at the bar, FireHouse Grill. Ironic that I'm visiting an alcohol-filled venue to improve my brain when such venues have previously done so much damage. Too bad the venue couldn't also improve my damaged fender or make that kid walk again (But on the plus side, he no longer has to wait in line for rides at Disney Land). The patrons are a shockingly older group. Still, great to see such fervent curiosity from folks so close to death. If I were FireHouse Grill, I'd ask patrons to pay their tabs in advance. Anyway, when you show up, pick a seat, sit down, and like a panda mating ritual, you know its game on when someone starts presenting. The lecture I attended was called "The Array of Things," dealing with Argonne Lab's efforts to put sensors all over Chicago to help improve our quality of life. For instance, sensors could change cross-walk signals more quickly based on BlueTooth signals from pedestrians' mobile devices. That means when the city is all wired up and you want to cross the street more quickly, find the intersection with a lot of people with smart phones. Or, find an intersection near an Apple store. Another example is if you're a young woman walking home late at night, sensors could tell you what streets had lots of people, so you could avoid muggers. By the same token, if you're a mugger, you could see the streets with only a single lone woman walking. That saves time! It may sound scary that there are all these devices tracking what we do, but its coming, so we might as well embrace it. As the old saying goes, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Or to put that in a more modern context, if you're kid already has autism, might as well get him vaccinated.
