Arrowsmith is a program of intensive and graduated cognitive exercises designed to strengthen the underlying weak mental capacities that are the cause of certain learning disabilities. It is an educational program – not a clinical or treatment program – delivered in a school environment by trained Arrowsmith teachers.
The goal of the Arrowsmith program is to make special education assistance unnecessary by helping students “increase their learning abilities, and be integrated into a full academic program at their appropriate grade level.”
The Arrowsmith program has proven effective for students having difficulty with:
- Reading / Writing / Mathematics
- Comprehension / Logical reasoning
- Visual and auditory memory
- Non-verbal learning / Problem solving
- Dyslexia / A.D.D.
The Arrowsmith School was founded on neuro-scientific research and has successfully used this exercise program for over twenty-five years. It demonstrates that it is possible for your child to strengthen his/her weak mental capacities and – quite literally – build a new brain! As a result, the majority of students in an Arrowsmith program have gone on to realize their academic and personal goals!
