Who We Help
Who can Brain Training Help? Students of all ages!
Brain training has the power to improve the quality of life and learning for almost any student regardless of their current level of learning or reading success. Most of us take for granted the amazing processes that happen in our brains. Every bit of information, every question, and each fragment of sensory input is processed at lightning speed so that we can learn, answer, decide, or just enjoy the moment.
Brain training simply makes all this processing faster and easier.
For the struggling student, these automatic processes often let them down. The ease of understanding new information that should have been normal becomes difficult and awkward. Learning that should have been easy is a frustrating effort. Reading that should have been effortless is a slow, embarrassing trial.
Brain training can change all that. If you're in Dublin, we can help!
Weak Cognitive Skills Are Associated With Many Different Conditions, Situations, & Stages of Life
For a variety of people—including students struggling to learn in school, children and adults struggling with ADHD and attention issues, dyslexia, even senior adults struggling with memory deficits—weak cognitive skills are making life more difficult than it needs to be.
Brain training isn't "just for kids", though early intervention is a great way to prevent adult struggles! Most of us didn't have access to assessments that could offer that early intervention though, so now what?
The brain possesses a lifelong characteristic called “neuroplasticity”—and because our programs strengthen the cognitive skills that make it possible to think, learn and remember, almost anyone can benefit from our programs. We mean this very literally because we've helped children under 6 yo, teenagers with attention issues, and people in the very advanced elderly years in late adulthood. We've also helped people cognitively recover from severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), strokes, and all kinds of learning challenges onset from unexpected life circumstances (falls, collisions, athletic accidents, etc.). We've also helped child prodigies, children in the CTY / MENSA / University program categories, and adults with high IQ scores with the unique cognitive challenges inherent to gifted students with high intellect (yes, they often have cognitive weaknesses relative to their strengths too!).
Let's talk a little about why and let's chat more about neuroplasticity...
In everyday language, neuroplasticity means the brain’s abilities are not “set in stone”—brain skills can be improved at any age and stage in life. The brain is flexible and has a unique capacity to grow and change and reform networks and pathways that have been broken or need to be made - all of these processes together create a different (and improved!) learning reality for the student and this is what we mean when we refer to brain training that maximizes the neuroplastic effect.
Neurostudies continue to document that specific kinds of intense mental activity stimulate the brain to make these kinds of improvements. What does this mean for you and your family?
If you (or someone you love) falls into one of these categories in the Dublin area:
-
Struggling students, from First Class through ALL College Age and University Students
-
Career Adults Wanting to Get Ahead - promotions, competitive edge, industry change, etc.
-
Senior Adults Wanting to Stay Sharp - improve memory, protect against cognitive decline & aging
-
Twice Exceptional (2e) students of ALL kinds and ages
-
Attention Issues and ADHD, with/without diagnoses
-
Autism, High IQ, and Other Relevant Syndromes/ Cognitive Symptoms
-
Learning disabilities - those with/without labels, retained reflexes, and motor/eye issues!
-
TBI Recovery - accident, sport, or war-related brain injuries (radically ↓ rehabilitation time & ↑ recovered brain function)
-
Stroke recovery
…there’s something that can be done. We can help!
Three Steps. That's All It Takes. Our expert team guides every student (and their parents/partners!) through a three-step process: Assessment, engagement about the Results, and then Training for Strength. Each step is entirely personalized and crafted to the student's specific learning needs as identified by our world-class assessment. This process allows us cater to individual cognitive skill combinations that are unique to each individual. The outcomes our students enjoy as a result of completing our brain training programs include: increased processing speed, memory, attention, and all aspects of the cognitive learning process -- benefits that group work and private tuition can never meaningfully offer. Most students also get the secondary advantage of a measurable increase in reading proficiency!
How Does It Work?
Step One
Assessment is key. We evaluate every student's auditory, visual, memory, attention, language, & critical thinking skills. The cognitive skills results will outline their core strengths and areas for improvement (qualitatively & quantitatively), often validating concerns in specific & measurable ways.
Step Two
Programs are personalized. What you need -- nothing less, nothing more. Once skill differences are identified, we customize the brain training program that can target learning challenges. Interactive sessions keep students motivated and engaged, slowly building confidence in their new abilities.
Step Three
Train the brain! Repetition and intensity are the key to achieving a neuroplastic effect from brain training. Our trainers work with a singular focus of creating lasting outcomes by using the best neurocognitive methods available in our programs. Our activities are fun, engaging, and challenging.
