Arrowsmith School is a world leader in using cognitive programming and neuroplasticity to strengthen the brain.
Want to learn more about what we do? Join us for key events on strengthening the brain through cognitive enhancement.
Learning difficulties and disabilities do not have to be life-long. By strengthening the child’s capacity to learn with cognitive exercises tailored to their unique learning profile, students of all ages can transform their ability to learn.
Most parents agree that the last few years have disrupted and had a negative impact on their child’s learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. This has impacted this generation’s opportunities to thrive in school and life. The road to recovery is not out of reach. Strengthen your child’s brain with evidence-based Arrowsmith cognitive exercises and bridge the learning gap today.
Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.
Learn how improving critical cognitive functionss can significantly change your brain’s ability to learn and process information. Join renowned brain change expert, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, for a virtual event.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses her journey of discovery and innovation that lead to the creation of the Arrowsmith Program and the research outcomes of a neuroplastic approach to addressing learning disabilities.
An inspiring and uplifting story of a woman who overcame severe learning difficulties using cognitive exercises to improve brain function, as featured in Norman Doidge's book, The Brain That Changes Itself. She has gone on to help others through her learning programs based on practical applications of neuroplasticity. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, Canada, best-selling author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain; Director, Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Programs.

The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the Creator and Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, and the author of the international best-selling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain (www.barbaraarrowsmithyoung.com/book), speaks at TedX Toronto about her pioneering work in the field of neuroplasticity. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of Barbara’s neuroscientific research, and for 40 years it has worked to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying a range of learning difficulties.
Barbara is thrilled to be in Guelph to accept the 2012 Alumna of Honour Award from her Alma Mater, the University of Guelph, on Wednesday, March 27. On Thursday, March 28, Barbara will give a public presentation on how the Arrowsmith Program uses neuroplasticity to address learning disabilities, hosted by Guelph Christian School.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, author of “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain” will present on her work on Shaping the Brain at the Fourth Annual Queensland Epilepsy Symposium Thinking Outside The Box: Epilepsy
The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.
Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
In her presentation entitled “The Arrowsmith Program: Addressing Learning Disabilities—A Cognitive Approach,” Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 35 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing, and some of the outcome studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises. There will be a book signing after the event. Attendees may bring their own, or purchase a copy of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain at the door for $10.
Debbie Gilmore will talk about the Arrowsmith Program, the lines of research that were combined to develop the program and the outcomes achieved for individuals with learning difficulties over 35 years.

Barbara Arrowsmith Young speaking at the Neuroplasticity and Education: Strengthening the Connection conference presented by the Eaton Educational Group at the Westin Bayshore Hotel on October 25, 2013.
The conference planning team at the Learning Assistance Teachers Association (LATA) is excited to offer an outstanding professional development opportunity at the annual LATA conference, Neuroscience Meets Education: Success for Struggling Students. This year's keynote speaker approaches learning struggles from an optimistic point of view that, while it stems from her personal experience with learning difficulties, is supported by current brain development research. Workshop facilitators cover a range of intervention strategies that will equip BC educators working in a multi-faceted RTI environment to ensure that all students maximize their learning potential.
Born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn, or worse, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young read and wrote everything backwards, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and could make no sense of an analog clock. But through her formidable memory and determination, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to "fix" her brain. Now the Director of Arrowsmith School, the author interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than 30 years of working with both children and adults to restructure their own brains. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

We go to school to learn and we learn with our brains. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses how 'putting the brain in the education equation' transforms the learning capacities of all students and leads to indpenedent self-confident learners for life.
Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.

Learning difficulties and disabilities do not have to be life-long. By strengthening the child’s capacity to learn with cognitive exercises tailored to their unique learning profile, students of all ages can transform their ability to learn.
Most parents agree that the last few years have disrupted and had a negative impact on their child’s learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. This has impacted this generation’s opportunities to thrive in school and life. The road to recovery is not out of reach. Strengthen your child’s brain with evidence-based Arrowsmith cognitive exercises and bridge the learning gap today.
Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.
Learn how improving critical cognitive functionss can significantly change your brain’s ability to learn and process information. Join renowned brain change expert, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, for a virtual event.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses her journey of discovery and innovation that lead to the creation of the Arrowsmith Program and the research outcomes of a neuroplastic approach to addressing learning disabilities.
An inspiring and uplifting story of a woman who overcame severe learning difficulties using cognitive exercises to improve brain function, as featured in Norman Doidge's book, The Brain That Changes Itself. She has gone on to help others through her learning programs based on practical applications of neuroplasticity. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, Canada, best-selling author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain; Director, Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Programs.

The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the Creator and Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, and the author of the international best-selling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain (www.barbaraarrowsmithyoung.com/book), speaks at TedX Toronto about her pioneering work in the field of neuroplasticity. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of Barbara’s neuroscientific research, and for 40 years it has worked to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying a range of learning difficulties.
Barbara is thrilled to be in Guelph to accept the 2012 Alumna of Honour Award from her Alma Mater, the University of Guelph, on Wednesday, March 27. On Thursday, March 28, Barbara will give a public presentation on how the Arrowsmith Program uses neuroplasticity to address learning disabilities, hosted by Guelph Christian School.

The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.
Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
In her presentation entitled “The Arrowsmith Program: Addressing Learning Disabilities—A Cognitive Approach,” Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 35 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing, and some of the outcome studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises. There will be a book signing after the event. Attendees may bring their own, or purchase a copy of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain at the door for $10.
Debbie Gilmore will talk about the Arrowsmith Program, the lines of research that were combined to develop the program and the outcomes achieved for individuals with learning difficulties over 35 years.

Barbara Arrowsmith Young speaking at the Neuroplasticity and Education: Strengthening the Connection conference presented by the Eaton Educational Group at the Westin Bayshore Hotel on October 25, 2013.
The conference planning team at the Learning Assistance Teachers Association (LATA) is excited to offer an outstanding professional development opportunity at the annual LATA conference, Neuroscience Meets Education: Success for Struggling Students. This year's keynote speaker approaches learning struggles from an optimistic point of view that, while it stems from her personal experience with learning difficulties, is supported by current brain development research. Workshop facilitators cover a range of intervention strategies that will equip BC educators working in a multi-faceted RTI environment to ensure that all students maximize their learning potential.
Born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn, or worse, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young read and wrote everything backwards, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and could make no sense of an analog clock. But through her formidable memory and determination, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to "fix" her brain. Now the Director of Arrowsmith School, the author interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than 30 years of working with both children and adults to restructure their own brains. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

We go to school to learn and we learn with our brains. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses how 'putting the brain in the education equation' transforms the learning capacities of all students and leads to indpenedent self-confident learners for life.
Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.

Learning difficulties and disabilities do not have to be life-long. By strengthening the child’s capacity to learn with cognitive exercises tailored to their unique learning profile, students of all ages can transform their ability to learn.
Most parents agree that the last few years have disrupted and had a negative impact on their child’s learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. This has impacted this generation’s opportunities to thrive in school and life. The road to recovery is not out of reach. Strengthen your child’s brain with evidence-based Arrowsmith cognitive exercises and bridge the learning gap today.
Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.
Learn how improving critical cognitive functionss can significantly change your brain’s ability to learn and process information. Join renowned brain change expert, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, for a virtual event.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses her journey of discovery and innovation that lead to the creation of the Arrowsmith Program and the research outcomes of a neuroplastic approach to addressing learning disabilities.
An inspiring and uplifting story of a woman who overcame severe learning difficulties using cognitive exercises to improve brain function, as featured in Norman Doidge's book, The Brain That Changes Itself. She has gone on to help others through her learning programs based on practical applications of neuroplasticity. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, Canada, best-selling author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain; Director, Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Programs.

The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the Creator and Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, and the author of the international best-selling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain (www.barbaraarrowsmithyoung.com/book), speaks at TedX Toronto about her pioneering work in the field of neuroplasticity. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of Barbara’s neuroscientific research, and for 40 years it has worked to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying a range of learning difficulties.
Barbara is thrilled to be in Guelph to accept the 2012 Alumna of Honour Award from her Alma Mater, the University of Guelph, on Wednesday, March 27. On Thursday, March 28, Barbara will give a public presentation on how the Arrowsmith Program uses neuroplasticity to address learning disabilities, hosted by Guelph Christian School.

The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.
Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
In her presentation entitled “The Arrowsmith Program: Addressing Learning Disabilities—A Cognitive Approach,” Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 35 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing, and some of the outcome studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises. There will be a book signing after the event. Attendees may bring their own, or purchase a copy of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain at the door for $10.
Debbie Gilmore will talk about the Arrowsmith Program, the lines of research that were combined to develop the program and the outcomes achieved for individuals with learning difficulties over 35 years. Built on the principle of neuroplasticity, the Arrowsmith Program identifies, intervenes and strengthens the weak cognitive capacities that affect learning. A number of cognitive functions and dysfunctions will be described and how these impact on the learner in school to those that affect individuals in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing and some of the studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises.

Workshop facilitators cover a range of intervention strategies that will equip BC educators working in a multi-faceted RTI environment to ensure that all students maximize their learning potential.
Born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn, or worse, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young read and wrote everything backwards, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and could make no sense of an analog clock. But through her formidable memory and determination, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to "fix" her brain. Now the Director of Arrowsmith School, the author interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than 30 years of working with both children and adults to restructure their own brains. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

We go to school to learn and we learn with our brains. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses how 'putting the brain in the education equation' transforms the learning capacities of all students and leads to indpenedent self-confident learners for life.
Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.

Most parents agree that the last few years have disrupted and had a negative impact on their child’s learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. This has impacted this generation’s opportunities to thrive in school and life. The road to recovery is not out of reach. Strengthen your child’s brain with evidence-based Arrowsmith cognitive exercises and bridge the learning gap today.
Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.
Learn how improving critical cognitive functionss can significantly change your brain’s ability to learn and process information. Join renowned brain change expert, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, for a virtual event.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses her journey of discovery and innovation that lead to the creation of the Arrowsmith Program and the research outcomes of a neuroplastic approach to addressing learning disabilities.
An inspiring and uplifting story of a woman who overcame severe learning difficulties using cognitive exercises to improve brain function, as featured in Norman Doidge's book, The Brain That Changes Itself. She has gone on to help others through her learning programs based on practical applications of neuroplasticity. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, Canada, best-selling author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain; Director, Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Programs.
Brain Power Conference “Join the Revolution in Childhood Development” sponsored by The Brain Power Initiative The Royal Conservatory TELUS CENTRE FOR PERFORMANCE AND LEARNING Toronto, Ontario Conference website (speakers’ list and ticket information): http://www.brainpowerinitiative.com/events/ Arrowsmith Program will be hosting a booth in the exhibition space Video introduction “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain” by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young preceding the panel, From the Family Room to the Classroom to the World”
The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the Creator and Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, and the author of the international best-selling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain (www.barbaraarrowsmithyoung.com/book), speaks at TedX Toronto about her pioneering work in the field of neuroplasticity. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of Barbara’s neuroscientific research, and for 40 years it has worked to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying a range of learning difficulties.
Barbara is thrilled to be in Guelph to accept the 2012 Alumna of Honour Award from her Alma Mater, the University of Guelph, on Wednesday, March 27. On Thursday, March 28, Barbara will give a public presentation on how the Arrowsmith Program uses neuroplasticity to address learning disabilities, hosted by Guelph Christian School.

The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.
Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
In her presentation entitled “The Arrowsmith Program: Addressing Learning Disabilities—A Cognitive Approach,” Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 35 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing, and some of the outcome studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises. There will be a book signing after the event. Attendees may bring their own, or purchase a copy of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain at the door for $10.
Debbie Gilmore will talk about the Arrowsmith Program, the lines of research that were combined to develop the program and the outcomes achieved for individuals with learning difficulties over 35 years. Built on the principle of neuroplasticity, the Arrowsmith Program identifies, intervenes and strengthens the weak cognitive capacities that affect learning. A number of cognitive functions and dysfunctions will be described and how these impact on the learner in school to those that affect individuals in life. The focus will be on learning disorders that impact academic performance such as reading and writing and some of the studies demonstrating cognitive and academic performance change in these areas as a result of students engaging in the Arrowsmith Program's cognitive exercises.

Born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn, or worse, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young read and wrote everything backwards, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and could make no sense of an analog clock. But through her formidable memory and determination, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to "fix" her brain. Now the Director of Arrowsmith School, the author interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than 30 years of working with both children and adults to restructure their own brains. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

In this presentation, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 40 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. She will discuss ‘cognitive glitches’ – those areas of weakness that we are all familiar with and often explain away by saying, “I am just not good at navigating, recognizing faces, (fill in the blank).” She will discuss ‘cognitive mismatches’ – situations we find ourselves in where the demand of the task is incompatible with our cognitive functioning and the challenges this presents. Principles of neuroplasticity and the factors leading to both positive and negative brain change will be discussed.

We go to school to learn and we learn with our brains. Barbara Arrowsmith-Young discusses how 'putting the brain in the education equation' transforms the learning capacities of all students and leads to indpenedent self-confident learners for life.
Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.

Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.

Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.

The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.

Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.

Learning difficulties and disabilities do not have to be life-long. By strengthening the child’s capacity to learn with cognitive exercises tailored to their unique learning profile, students of all ages can transform their ability to learn.
Most parents agree that the last few years have disrupted and had a negative impact on their child’s learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. This has impacted this generation’s opportunities to thrive in school and life. The road to recovery is not out of reach. Strengthen your child’s brain with evidence-based Arrowsmith cognitive exercises and bridge the learning gap today.
Our brains are at the heart of our every move, thought, and interaction. Its intricate design shapes how we participate in the world, see ourselves, and understand others. This first of a 5-part series examines both our brain’s complexity and its uniqueness. We will explore the concept of ‘cognitive function’ and describe how specific intellectual processes work together to achieve the simplest to complex tasks. Our own cognitive profiles are as distinct as fingerprints. Gaining insight through a cognitive lens, therefore, allows us to better understand ourselves and others.
Building a stronger brain means achieving your best through cognitive enhancement. By engaging in targeted cognitive exercises, we can increase our cognitive capacity and lead a better life. This second part of the 5-part series analyzes the brain's role at school, in the workplace, at home, and throughout our lives. We will discuss the benefits of cognitive programming for all.
The first 10 years of school life are pivotal. What and how a child learns during this period determines the life they will create for themselves, and how they will contribute to the world. It is encouraging that many educators, professionals, and policymakers are recognizing that school curricula must evolve to meet the needs of today’s students. In fact, we would argue that a revolution is due. Part 3 of the Webinar Series will consider how the skills identified essential for our modern world, such as critical thinking, flexibility, emotional intelligence, are directly connected to specific cognitive functions. We will examine how a cognitive program can enhance underlying brain processes responsible for acquiring these 21st-century skills, fundamentally preparing students to be the leaders and shapers of tomorrow.
As we learn, our brains continually change. From toddlerhood to early childhood, all of life’s natural learning experiences—from lullabies to balancing blocks – are shaping the function and structure of circuits in the brain. When children go off to school, they need to adapt these circuits of their brains in new and profound ways as they learn how to translate letters into words, words into ideas, and numbers into mathematical concepts. This presentation examines this very exchange – how do our brains learn? What is happening as we read, write, or solve a math problem? How might this perspective shape our understanding of our own experiences, and that of our children and students? Is there really such thing as a “math person”? Join us to consider the brain’s role in learning, the science behind acquiring fundamental academic skills, and the potential to change the trajectory of traditional learning processes through a neuroplastic approach.
So far we’ve examined the role of the brain from different perspectives and different scenarios. This webinar takes us back to a core principle – how does it operate? What does its instructional manual look like? Unique from traditional educational assessments, a cognitive assessment goes beneath skills and performance and examines the functioning of the core cognitive functions that shape our lives. This assessment can be a user’s guide to understanding ourselves and others. Join us to learn more about how cognitive assessments can become an essential tool for understanding and improving our lives.

Dr. Greg Rose presents: The Benefits of Arrowsmith Training on Brain Connectivity and Neuropsychological Measures. Dr Greg Rose from Southern Illinois University presents his latest research findings on outcomes of the Arrowsmith Program. Dr Rose is currently undertaking three research studies on the Arrowsmith Program. He is also involved in an international systematic research effort to understand how the Arrowsmith Program changes brain functioning and how this translates into improved cognition.
The following topics are discussed: principles to drive neuroplastic change; how our unique cogntive profile drives our behaviour; and the outcomes of a neuroplastic approach to enhancing learning.
In this presentation, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young will talk about her journey of discovery, the lines of research she combined, and the outcomes achieved over her 40 years as an educator and researcher. She will describe a number of learning disorders, from those that impact the learner in school to those that affect us in life. She will discuss ‘cognitive glitches’ – those areas of weakness that we are all familiar with and often explain away by saying, “I am just not good at navigating, recognizing faces, (fill in the blank).” She will discuss ‘cognitive mismatches’ – situations we find ourselves in where the demand of the task is incompatible with our cognitive functioning and the challenges this presents. Principles of neuroplasticity and the factors leading to both positive and negative brain change will be discussed.

Born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn, or worse, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young read and wrote everything backwards, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and could make no sense of an analog clock. But through her formidable memory and determination, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to "fix" her brain. Now the Director of Arrowsmith School, the author interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than 30 years of working with both children and adults to restructure their own brains. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

Arrowsmith-Young’s lecture covers the personal and the universal. The personal is Arrowsmith-Young’s journey of discovery driven by her hunt for a solution to her own debilitating learning disorders leading to the integration of two lines of neuroscience research. The universal is that we all have a brain and by furthering our knowledge of how our brain shapes us through mediating our understanding of the world we can gain insight into our functioning and that of others. And most promising, that through our growing understanding of neuroplasticity, we now have the knowledge to develop treatments to shape our brains. It is a journey of understanding and transformation. Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for purchase and autographing.
The Arrowsmith Program is not tutoring. It is a program within a school that addresses the underlying cognitive challenges that prevent our kids from learning. Within 2-4 years, the majority of kids with mild to severe learning and attention challenges join their classmates at grade level without compensations or aides. Pretty great stuff! Through neuroplasticity (changing the brain), the Arrowsmith program actually increases the learning capacities of students with learning and attention challlenges. So instead of compensating, the program actually changes the brain so a child can learn. There are over 30 years of proven life-changing results! The Arrowsmith Program could be the answer for your child or student.

The Canadian Arrowsmith Program is founded on the philosophy that it is possible to treat learning disabilities by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Based on the personal experience of its developer, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the program uses a series of exercises designed to strengthen weak cognitive capacities and improve associated learning dysfunctions. In this presentation designed for parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, Arrowsmith Young, whose autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was published this year, will outline the principles and practices of her program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young turned her life-defining learning disabilities into an unlikely asset. Unable to process language or decode symbols, she compensated with her fierce determination to learn, fuelled by a formidable memory. In graduate school, she chanced on research that held the key to reprogramming her own brain. This was in the 1970s and 80s, before neuroplasticity became a widely accepted fact. Her pioneering Arrowsmith Program has since helped countless children and adults with learning disabilities to unlock their potential. ‘In most traditional special education programs, the premise is that the learner’s fixed. The learner is the learner, with their strengths and weaknesses,’ says Barbara. ‘The premise of our work is, we’re going to take this learner, and we’re going to change the capacity of the learner.’ Norman Doidge shared Barbara’s story in his bestseller The Brain That Changes Itself; she speaks for herself in her new book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.
The pioneer of neuroplasticity was born with severe learning disabilities. Undaunted, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young used her strengths to develop brain exercises to overcome her neurological deficits. She has gone on to change countless lives and inspire Miraculous Transformations from the Frontier of Brain Science.

Imagine a place where neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) and education meet. Imagine schools where students are enhancing their cognitive functions in combination with learning and applying content and skills within the academic curriculum. This is a very real possibility using a capacity-based program involving the principles of neuroplasticity.
The concept of neuroplasticity brings hope – the brain is plastic and can change. What is difficult for educators is adopting the principles into their everyday work. There is a huge divide between education and neuroscience. This is the challenge currently facing education. This session will explore the neuroplastic paradigm, the concept of cognitive enhancement, and how targeted cognitive exercises can be
used in the classroom to enhance the learning of all students. Educators can learn about how student behavior can be viewed through a cognitive lens; about neuroplasticity and how and why it works, and how to integrate new knowledge into common practices.
It is possible to change the cognitive capacity of the learner in order to enhance learning of content, curriculum and academics more efficiently. It is possible to enhance reasoning and processing ability to understand and quickly grasp what is read and heard, insight, comprehension, logical reasoning, cause and effect processing, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, motor function and auditory memory, among many other cognitive functions. As the learner’s capacity to learn is enhanced using a cognitive program, the rate of learning can accelerate across academic disciplines.
The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to enhance specific cognitive functions through targeted cognitive programs.
