Cognitive Skills Training

Program Features

Brain Power is the most comprehensive and sophisticated cognitive skills training program available which incorporates features which are essential for maximum success.  The neurosciences are rapidly advancing our understanding of how the brain functions.  Our training techniques are continuously evaluated and modified based on the most current research available.  We now know that an effective cognitive skills training program must have the following features:

1.  Training must be 6-7 days per week. 

Only intense training will successfully force the brain to develop new neural connections.

2.  Training must be provided on a one-on-one basis by a training facilitator.

Inaccurate responses must be immediately corrected by a training facilitator so that only accurate processing is reinforced.

3.  Training tasks must always remain difficult.

Training tasks must continuously increase in difficulty in order to stimulate the brain to develop new neural connections.

4.  Training techniques must drive the skills to become automatic.

Our program uses proven techniques which force cognitive skills/processing to become maximally efficient.  This assures that the newly formed neural connections are  operating at their maximum efficiency.

5.  Training must be comprehensive and target all the areas where deficits have been identified.

These skills include fine and gross motor coordination, visual motor integration, attention and concentration, memory, processing speed, problem solving, visual processing, auditory processing, and language comprehension.

Brain Power produces permanent physiological changes in the brain.  Once the brain develops new neural connections, they are permanent and do not change.  Follow-up studies have shown no loss in cognitive skills one year after training.
