Children with attention problems have many gifts that go unrealized. They are smart, imaginative, creative and curious. Of course, they need to build attention stamina. But to optimize their full learning potential, they also need opportunities to discover and express the many ways they are smart.

Attention is a skill that can be learned. Computer software is now available that trains children to increase attention stamina and reduce distractibility. It's like going to a gym and consistently gaining strength, endurance, balance and flexibility. When children regularly do their brain fitness exercises, they gradually strengthen attention and other cognitive skills.

Cognitive skills include concentration, memory, reasoning, listening, information processing, planning and organizing. All of these skills are important for success in school and life.

Cognitive training is a series of brain fitness exercises designed to improve attention stamina, listening, thinking before acting, memory and information processing. By progressing through a series of customized, challenging, and carefully constructed activities, children strengthen cognitive skills.

Your child's brain needs novel and enriched environments to work at its best. Using the computer's immediate feedback, children repeat exercises and gradually improve cognitive abilities. The computer automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance and gives you and your child a report at the end of every session. Goals are set. Results are achieved. Higher goals are set, resulting in new levels of accomplishment.

Yes. Scientific research shows that the brain is adaptable and capable of learning throughout life. The brain is highly dynamic and contains many systems and pathways that are constantly reorganizing themselves. This is called "neuroplasticity." BrainWorks Better programs take advantage of this process to challenge your child to take responsibility for setting and achieving higher goals.

Your child will experience improvement in attention, memory, thinking, listening skills and information processing speed. These skills transfer to school, home, academics, athletic and creative accomplishments.

Yes. For instance, the National Institute of Health issued the following statement: "Cognitive exercises, including computer-assisted strategies, have been used to improve specific neuropsychological processes, predominantly attention, memory, and executive skills. Both randomized controlled studies and case reports have documented the success of these interventions using intermediate outcome measures. Certain studies using global outcome measures also support the use of computer-assisted exercises in cognitive rehabilitation."

Most commercial video games use highly over-stimulating sounds and graphics. But children with a short attention span get distracted when they have to interact in ordinary situations. BrainWorks Better computer "games" are actually brain fitness exercises that simulate learning in the real world. Progress is obtained through the use of a quick mind rather than a fast joystick.

It is software which integrates principles of brain science, computer science and educational psychology to improve attention, cognitive skills and learning achievement.

Because it is based on research that the brain works better through exercise and deteriorates through disuse. Parents and children like the brain fitness approach. Children like playing computer games which make them stronger and smarter. And they love having their own Personal Trainer to guide, motivate and teach them how to strengthen attention skills and learn better.

It takes two or more hours of cognitive training per week for this period of time to attain results that last and transfer from the computer to others areas of life. The six month contract is like enrolling in a great course for a semester and learning for the rest of your life.

It is a series of questionnaires and rating scales about your child that you and your child's teacher fill out. This gives us information about attention skills and the many ways your child is smart. The Cognitive Fitness Evaluation generates a wealth of data to determine your child's preferred ways of learning and optimal brain fitness program.

The physical and psychological aspects of learning contribute to brain fitness and a love of learning. Young children require rich, complex and novel learning environments for optimal growth and development.

The trainer is an experienced coach who guides, motivates and inspires your child to improve BrainWorks Better performance, motivation and confidence.

It maximizes your child's full learning potential by strengthening nine intelligences and their "sparks of genius." By learning to use their whole brain to expand thinking, imagination and creativity, your child will learn better and become a happier student.

"Working out" with customized personal responsibility exercises and their own Personal Trainer, children learn how to improve attitude, behavior, and self-discipline. Your child learns how to take more responsibility for everything he says, thinks, feels and does.
