Keynote Speaker: Dr. Jeri LaVigne

Jeri LaVigne, Ed.D. is an educational and health psychologist who has been working in the Atlanta area for more than 25 years helping children and adults reach their goals and dreams by teaching them how to better process information. Once people understand how they process or do not process the vital information that they have to take in and understand, Jeri works with them to fill in the gaps and help them acquire that information and process it more fully.  

She has created a series of audio cds, The Efficient Brain Series, to help people better understand their learning and processing styles and how to use that information to create the lives they want. Jeri is an Irlen Director, certified in the Irlen Method, Neurofeedback practitioner, and Cyma practitioner.
