  Arrowsmith Program

  • Program Coordinator

    • Jan 2018 - Jan 2024

    The Arrowsmith Program, a cognitive program, harnesses the principles of neuroplasticity through the application of targeted cognitive exercises to overcome specific learning difficulties. The premise of the Arrowsmith Program is that the weaker cognitive functions that contribute to learning difficulties can be strengthened through targeted cognitive exercises, resulting in increased mental capacities and strengthened learning abilities. Once the source of the learning difficulty is addressed, the individual’s ability to perform complex tasks will also be improved. As a Program Coordinator, I am responsible for liaising with teachers across the globe who implement the Arrowsmith Program. I support these teachers in working with their students, analyzing student data and producing reports, taking part in the continued development and delivery of the training for all new Arrowsmith teachers, deliver online professional development sessions and virtual training sessions on methodology, as well as technical assistance. We have recently developed all trainings onto virtual LMS platforms. This position fosters a capacity to work with multi-disciplinary colleagues and clients to impact people’s lives for the better.
