Individuals who struggle to understand what they read, take longer to make connections between concepts, find problem solving and math challenging, are perplexed by jokes or sarcasm, think in a rigid fashion and always feel a few steps behind in understanding situations.
The Cognitive Intensive programs are accelerated, and therefore, most benefits students who can engage in material with a great deal of independence. There are also important prerequisite skills that will greatly aid in a student’s success and progress.
Counting Skills:
Many of the exercises are based on concepts found in a 2 handed analog clock. The following counting skills are important in ensuring the best possible start to the program.
- Counting from 1-60
- Counting from 60-1 (reverse)
- Counting from 5-60 by 5’s
- Counting 12-60 by 12’s
Participants should have a basic understanding of a 2 handed analog clock. Counting skills may require daily practice leading up to the start of the program.
Numeric Keypad Touch-Typing Skills:
- Students will need to know how to type numbers on the numeric keypad. This is the keypad on the right-hand side of the keyboard, not the numbers along the top.
- Should your computer not have a numeric keypad, one can be purchased online or through most computer retailers – there are many to choose from – and they easily plug into the side of the computer.
- Participants will be using the numeric keypad to enter numbers quickly and accurately, using multiple fingers.
- To improve proficiency in touch typing, daily practice is recommended. Some websites offer free tying programs, be sure to look for websites or apps that have numeric keypad options.

Reflections
A few reflections from a parent and adult student perspective.
AS FEATURED IN:
“He is able to read a book much more smoothly. He does not see so many words at once on a page. He also really enjoys reading out loud now.”
- Parent of a summer Cognitive Intensive Program Student
“
Concentration has definitely much improved, she’s a little less rigid, and is able to regulate her emotions quicker.
- Parent of 2019 Summer Cognitive Intensive Program Student
“
Can’t stress enough that we can see marked improvement in him from his time with you this summer....especially in his reading!
- John & Fabienne Wade, EA parents, Redmond, Washington, USA
“
I have noticed my child is more emotionally aware. I can see she is more confident and knows the consequences of her actions.
- Parent of 2019 Summer Cognitive Intensive Program Student
“
2018 was the second time we travelled from New Zealand to Canada for Tallulah to spend 6 weeks full time at Eaton Arrowsmith. There is a significant improvement in levels of engagement and concentration. She has always been independent but now she is wanting to achieve things entirely on her own. She is so much happier.
- Raquel Smith, EA parent, Vancouver, BC, Canada
DID YOU KNOW?
A student with learning disabilities can lose $700,000+ in lifelong earnings if you don’t act to improve their brain’s capacity.
In 2018, Statistics Canada published an article entitled, “Canadians with disabilities: A demographic, employment and income profile, 2017.” The article noted, “Among youth with disabilities who were neither in school nor employed, 87% had a mental health-related disability, a learning disability, or both.” Finally, “Since those with mental health-related and/or learning disabilities accounted for 77% of youth with disabilities, this suggests they are disproportionately affected when it comes to being neither in school nor employed.”
Enrolling at Eaton Arrowsmith will forever alter the course of a student’s life and career.

HOW IT WORKS
Arrowsmith Program
The Arrowsmith Program exercises are designed to strengthen weak neuropathways and improve your child’s learning capacities.
Why is Learning a Struggle
When kids, youth, and adults are struggling with activities like reading, mathematics, or problem-solving, the areas or pathways in their brain that process this information are either weak or overactive. For some, this leads to mild learning difficulties while, for others, more severe learning disabilities, like dyslexia or dyscalculia.
