About

ELC Cognitive Learning Center in Encinitas has provided brain-training and cognitive therapy programs from Encinitas Boulevard since its founding in 1997, now operating from Suite 104 at 527 Encinitas Boulevard approximately one mile east of Moonlight Beach. The center's founder holds a Master's degree in Communication Disorders and ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP #6849), specializing in auditory processing deficits that underlie dyslexia, autism-spectrum learning challenges, and attention-regulation difficulties — conditions whose initial developmental screening often begins at Children's Primary Care Medical Group before referral for targeted cognitive intervention. Individualized one-on-one brain-training sessions target executive function, processing speed, working memory, and auditory discrimination using neuroscience-based protocols that have produced an average 20 percent cognitive-skill growth within six weeks of enrollment. The program also serves adults with developmental disabilities through Self-Determination partnership services focused on independent-living skill acquisition, daily-task management, and memory enhancement. Orofacial development assessments for students with articulation and phonological processing delays dovetail with the orthodontic evaluation and oral-motor screening conducted at Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics for children presenting with concurrent speech and structural oral deficits. Advanced diagnostic evaluations employ standardized auditory processing battery testing to isolate temporal resolution, dichotic listening, and auditory closure deficits at the neural encoding level.
