Understanding Your Child’s Unique Learning Profile
Is your child receiving poor report cards and below average academic performance? Do you see your child trying and wanting to succeed at school, but at the same time struggling?
Schools provide report cards to parents as a means of tracking how well their children are performing academically. But when students struggle, those reports are not designed to help parents identify the reasons for the difficulties.
Each of our brains are different. They are unique, and our individual cognitive capacities impact not only our ability to learn but also our overall wellbeing.
Discover the ‘why’ behind why your child struggles in school.
For a limited time, we are offering $1,000 off the Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment (from $2,500 to $1,500).
The Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment helps give you an in-depth understanding of your child’s unique learning profile based on the strengths and weaknesses of their cognitive capabilities.

What is the Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment?
The Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment has been designed to provide an informative overview of your child’s unique learning experience.
Through the assessment, Arrowsmith measures the underlying cognitive capacities that are responsible for learning. We then create an individualized report which identifies your child’s unique, and specific combination, of cognitive strengths and areas of challenge.
From this report, we are able to identify the unique learning profile of your child and provide program recommendations that lead to measurable changes in their capacity to learn.
