    Q: Is there a cost for this training? I just wanted a job.

    A: Since you responded to the ad (or stumbled upon us) and you've made it this far,
    this might be worth your consideration. The training program is $500.00. If later, you
    move and are in good standing with your employer, you may apply this training fee as
    a deposit on opening your own private practice. Membership in AWBA is required to
    practice MnemeTherapy. Membership is $3,000.

    Q: I'm interested, but unemployed and don't have any money. What can I do?

    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 can get you
    started for just $50.00 deposit and 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.

    Here are the three ways that you can earn your Training Fee. Click on Cara's
    painting to keep going. You can get started with a deposit as low as $50.00 and then
    work your way through the curriculum:
  1. Recruiting: If you post ads on the Internet or tell others 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)
  2. 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.
  3. AWB Calendar Fundraiser. If you aren't afraid of sales, you can use this
    quick and easy fundraiser. Just get 12 sponsors to participate, (no cost to be a
    sponsor) they form a team and do all the selling. You meet with the teams,
    collect the money, design and order the calendars. Your employer will help
    guide you through this process, since it benefits both of you  Want to see a

Artist Reconnects to Her World

This lovely lady was an artist, but she had lost the
ability to communicate (receptive and expressive
aphasia) or understand information she was receiving
from her senses. (agnosia).

Although she made eye contact and responded to
physical cueing, at the beginning of the session, she
seemed disconnected and would drop the brush and
stare off into middle space. We were thrilled that we
captured the moment when she began to move the
paint brush independently. You can almost see the
brain engage.

By the end of the session, she was speaking in
complete sentences, was proud of the painting she
had done and had reconnected.
