Barbara Arrowsmith-Young
‘The Woman Who Changed Her Brain’ was born with severe learning disabilities.
As a child, she read and wrote everything backward, struggled to comprehend language, and was continually getting lost.
By using her formidable memory she managed to graduate and started to research and develop cognitive exercises to “fix” her own brain.
She founded the Arrowsmith School in Toronto in 1980 and Arrowsmith is now an established global program.
backed by science
Arrowsmith is based on the work of the neuropsychologist, A. R. Luria, who investigated the functions of specific regions of the brain.
Luria concluded that complex cognitive activities, such as reading, writing and mathematics, require the interaction of several areas of the brain at the same time.
Each area of the brain has a very specific role to play and if one part of the brain is impaired, the performance of the learning activity will also be impaired resulting in a specific learning dysfunction.
Arrowsmith exercises are designed to improve specific areas and brain performance.
