Dear Cindy, We want to thank you and the Baytown Homeschoolers for allowing us to share with you at your super and very well attended 2016 Open House. We hope all of you have an exceptional academic year with teaching and nurturing your children at home. If we can be of any assistance in providing our integrated diagnostic learning care and learning services, please let us know. If your group would like training on any specific educational topics, we would be glad to provide that service, as well. We hope the information on " Four Learning Challenges" was helpful.

Dear Dr. Craig Johnson, Recently, I read the article entitled Appropriately Targeting Group Interventions for Academic Success Adopting the Clinical Model and PAR Profiles in which you were the lead author. I shared the article with Dr. Wren Bump who is a Learning Diagnostician and Personalized Curriculum Specialist for Learner Dynamics LLC, which is a private agency that provides learning diagnostic and treatment services in the Houston area. Learner Dynamics LLC was co-founded by Dr. Lillian McEnery and I, Dr. Joan Ickes in 2014. Wren and I were excited to learn you and other authors of the article were at the University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics in Houston, Texas in that it could possibly provide us more direct access and opportunity to learn about the PAR Profile as a possible instrument to use in our diagnostic program with secondary and post secondary clients Thus, Wren emailed you a couple of months ago to inquire how Learner Dynamics LLC could learn more about the PAR Profiles. Your response to Wren indicated there was PAR Profiles training required prior to purchasing or using the instrument. With that in mind, Dr. Bump and I would like to set up an appointment with you to learn more about the research being conducted at the UT Biomedical Informatics Program and the PAR Profiles training offered as we pursue learning/deciding how it could assist us in improving our learning diagnostic work with our clients. If meeting with you is possible, please let us know some some dates and times over the next month that works best for your schedule. Thank you in advance, Dr Joan Ickes, co-founder Learner Dynamics LLC 713.591.4958 -direct line learnerdynamics@gmailcom Learnerdynamics.com
