What is the format of the Arrowsmith cognitive program?
​

The Arrowsmith Program comprises a unique combination of three different types of exercises:
  1. Computer exercises: to strengthen the ability to reason, use logic, and comprehend, as well as exercises for strengthening numeracy skills, reading, and visual memory for symbol patterns and face and landmark recognition.
  2. Auditory exercises: to improve short and long term auditory memory, phonemic memory, oral and written output, vocabulary development and to increase the ability to hold and process information (working memory).
   3.  Pen and paper exercises: to improve the cognitive capacities required for motor skills related to          the mechanical aspect of writing, skills required for written communication, organisation and                planning, executive function, and skills required for non-verbal communication.
