Arrowsmith Program - Brain Training That Works

🧠 Neuroplasticity-Based Learning
Transform Learning by Strengthening the Brain
The Arrowsmith Program strengthens the brain’s weak cognitive functions - the root causes behind many learning challenges. Rather than teaching students to work around their difficulties, we help them overcome them for lasting change.

The Arrowsmith Advantage
Arrowsmith doesn’t teach workarounds — it targets and strengthens the specific brain processes that make learning possible. These are called cognitive functions, and they influence memory, comprehension, attention, reasoning, and more.

Hear how families and students are thriving with the Arrowsmith Program

I can now remember information more clearly and make faster decisions.

Studying used to be exhausting because I struggled to recall what I had learned. I delayed returning to study, but I’m now feeling confident that I can complete my course.

Why It Works

Based on Neuroscience. Built for Transformation.
Your brain can change. The Arrowsmith Program uses neuroplasticity to strengthen the root causes of learning challenges
- not just work around them.

How does Arrowsmith Help
My Brain?

The fact that Arrowsmith trains the brain processors that make possible, reasoning and rationality, is arguably one of the most important positive developments one could imagine for our world, with its complex problems.

Norman Doidge: Author of “The Brain That Changes Itself”, psychiatrist and researcher

A Proven Approach Built on Neuroplasticity
The Arrowsmith Program has been running for over 40 years. It’s a cognitive training program based on the science of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change, adapt, and rewire itself.

More Than Coping—It’s Real Change
Unlike traditional interventions that compensate for learning difficulties, Arrowsmith strengthens the source of the problem by retraining weak cognitive functions.

Tailored Cognitive Programs for Every Learner
At Empowering Lives, each individual begins with a cognitive assessment,
or questionnaire.
This allows us to personalise a program targeting the areas of the brain limiting success - so students, adults, and seniors can reach their full potential.

Results That Unlock Futures
Our students show improvements in memory, reasoning, attention, problem-solving, and more. They leave more confident and better equipped to thrive in education, work, and life.
