If you have a weakness in a specific cognitive area or your child is struggling at school, they are not keeping up with the curriculum, or if they display a behavioural problem or you feel that something is not quite right, please contact us for some initial advice as we may be able to help. There is no charge for the initial discussion about your or your child’s learning difficulties.
If we feel our program is likely to be a good fit for you or your child, we will recommend booking a consultation to establish if a student is able to undertake the cognitive exercises required within our program. This may be followed by full Arrowsmith assessment to establish your child needs help with.
Parents often worry about their child being labelled with a “learning difficulty” and when they first approach us they often say that they ‘have tried everything’ such as extra tutoring or homework sessions to address the issue.
Instead of ‘helping’ this can often put their child under even more pressure because in spite of all this ‘help’ they fall further and further behind. Parents often say their child has lower self-esteem and has become more withdrawn.
It is important to realise that there is no such thing as ‘normal’ and every child will learn in a slightly different way.
The sooner a student is able to address their particular learning difficulty, the sooner they will then be able to return and learn within a mainstream environment.
Some of our current full-time students are achieved some life changing results this year, by addressing their learning difficulty in under a year and then returning to mainstream.
Parents often feel a part-time option may be better so their child doesn’t fall further behind however our results show that students who are ideal for the full-time program return to mainstream faster and better able to learn.
Furthermore, students that have graduated report that instead of ‘missing a year’ they have easily caught up on content and they have subsequently progressed to achieve some exceptional grades.
