Unlock your Learning Potential through

Our Programs

The Cognitive Enhancement Centre offers courses developed by the world renowned Arrowsmith Program™ – a program based on the application of neuroscientific research which works to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities that underlie a range of learning difficulties.

Through a careful assessment, learning strengths and weaknesses are identified to create an individual learning profile for each student. Our goal is to help strengthen the participant’s ability to learn through a range of in-person and online programs, making learning easier and more efficient.

Full Time Program

The full time program is specifically tailored to target the root causes of specific learning difficulties identified through an accurate Arrowsmith assessment. 

This rigorous program requires students to attend 4 online sessions daily, focused on efficiently addressing underperforming cognitive functions that contribute to their learning difficulties. This includes Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. 

Students enrolled in the full time program, including those with complex learning profiles, have shown great outcomes through this tailored approach:

Part Time Programs

If students are unable to access a full time program due to time restraints then part time options are available. These are decided in consultation between the student, family and a trained Arrowsmith teacher to maximize efficient use of the time available for the individual student profile.

Motor Symbol Sequencing (MSS)

Suitable for part time students who wish to work predominantly from their own home and experience difficulties with:

• The mechanical aspect of writing
• Putting words on paper
• Can speak better than they write
• Have messy handwriting and careless errors in spelling and math
• Forming letters and motor planning in writing

Cognitive Enhancement

The Cognitive Enhancement Program is an effective brain boost for a variety of student profiles. School children, busy executives, professional athletes, musicians and senior citizens have all benefited from this model by gaining a cognitive edge. Students enrolled in this model would not usually have been diagnosed with an SpLD or have experienced significant difficulties in school. CEP students do not require an Arrowsmith cognitive assessment and will benefit from enhanced ability to:

This program is offered with one hour every two weeks at CEC. The student engages in a minimum of four hours of the program at home per week and returns to CEC to have their progress monitored and for any necessary modifications to be made.

Having participated in the MSS program students have gained improvement with:

Writing more legibly,
neatly, and easily

Eye tracking
of text

Faster
reading speed

Ability to copy material
quickly and accurately

Completion of written
tests within time limits

A reduction of careless
errors in mathematics

Better
fluency of speech

More
automated spelling

Cognitive Intensive Program

The Cognitive Intensive Program is an effective brain boost beneficial for students who are challenged with making connections between concepts like understanding what they read, following logical processes and solving problems.
This 6-week program targets Symbol Relations, the key function that facilitates conceptual reasoning, logic, and processing speed.

Evidence-based results of participants include:

Improved cognitive and academic performance

Increased emotional and social well-being

Increased independent and self-directed learning

Increased rate of learning

Independence in activities and daily living

Increased sense of locus of control

A shift to a growth mindset

Increase in attention, listening well, staying focused
