Weak functioning areas of the brain are treated like frail muscles. These areas are intensely stimulated through cognitive exercises.
Each exercise has been designed to target a specific area of learning difficulty and each student's program is tailored for that student's particular needs. These include written, visual, auditory and computer exercises. The exercises for each dysfunction are repetitive in order to intensely stimulate specific areas of the brain. Each student is tested at the end of each year to assess progress. The student's program is adapted as needed.
Access students are typically of average or above intelligence and experiencing problems in school, which may include difficulties with reading, writing, mathematics, remembering, understanding, auditory processing, dyslexia or attention disorders (ADD/ADHD).
Arrowsmith has provided a key element in Jenny's approach to learning and actual learning. As a direct result of Jenny's improvement, she has gained self-confidence which is reinforced daily by her academic success. She is turning frustration into academic accomplishments with an "I can do this" attitude. We are thrilled and encouraged by her growth and cognitive improvement.
