You made it...good for you!
Read on...here are some more questions. Look for the next
instruction as you read...
Q: Where is the Institute of MnemeTherapy? How long does it take to go through the
program?
A: Just like the AWB Association, IMT is virtual. It's the education arm of AWBA. The definition
of Institute is "an association organized to promote art or science or education." Nothing there
about brick and mortar.
Membership in the Association is a requirement of becoming a MnemeTherapist and opening
an AWB Chapter. Membership provides you with not only training, but certification, participation
in a service area registry and continued education. "Virtual" just means that the curriculum is
on-line and you will take the course at your own pace from the comfort of your home. The
curriculum includes reading, e-trips, instructional videos and self administered tests monitored
by a Mentor.
Since we have no paid staff, we use the Apprentice/ Mentor program. You will be apprenticed
to an MMT. (Master MnemeTherapist) That means your mentor will guide you through the on-
line curriculum and grade your tests. To move to the next question, scroll down the page to
watch the video, then scroll down to Pop Quiz. Watching the video is not required to moving on
if you can't make it work or don't want to download anything to make it work.
How long it takes is up to you. We have had students make it through in 2 months and
some take up to a year. (usually because of finances) When you've successfully completed the
curriculum, you will have the choice of where you take your on-site final: in your mentor's area
or yours. When you graduate, you will receive a license to open an AWB Chapter and be a
Certified MnemeTherapist.
Q: I was looking for a job! Now I have to pay to be trained?What gives?
A: Our mission is to find the right type of artists, train and certify them as MnemeTherapists.
Since you responded to the ad (or stumbled upon us) and you've made it this far, you might
what we're looking for. Depending on where you live, you can either a) work for an existing
chapter ( a JOB) or b) open your own Chapter. The Association membership fee is $3,000, or
if you work for an established chapter, the Associate fee, which also includes training and
Certification is $500.00
Q: But I'm unemployed and don't have any money.
A: Most of our students are in the same boat. Only you can decide if you want to invest in your
future and make a difference in the lives of others. We encourage you to continue to look for
work as you go through the program, but we accept payments, which we do "in-house", with no
credit check or interest charges, (unless you don't make the minimum payment of $50.00 by
the end of the month, then there's a charge of $15.00.)
We accept credit/debit cards and as mentioned, have several fund raising options. For those
making payments, you will receive the password to the second part of the curriculum that
teaches the process when your payments are complete. Keep reading and it will lead you to
the application.
Here are the two ways that you can earn your tuition. You can get started with a deposit as low
as $50.00 and then work your way through the curriculum:

- Recruiting: If you post ads on the Internet and the recruit is accepted and starts the
program, you'll earn a $500 credit on your Membership fee. (explained further on the
next page) - Ebay Giving Works Program: You can sell your paintings or other items on Ebay and
donate the proceeds or a percentage of the proceeds to AWBA. You also get a tax
credit for the donation. 100% of the donation goes toward your Membership fee.
| Q & A |
with Founder, Noell Hammer
This short video is a wonderful
example of improvement in receptive
aphasia, the ability to understand the
spoken word; expressive aphasia,
the ability to use words correctly and
agnosia, being able to interpret the
senses, in this case, sight.
Listen to Irving's confused sentences
while painting and then how clearly he
spoke after the session. We were
excited that his wife was visiting and we
could document her enthusiastic
assessment of the session.
