Cognitive Tutoring and Brain Training - Skill Building to Overcome Learning Disabilities
Is your smart kid struggling in school?
The most common reason children struggle academically is weak or inconsistent information processing and cognitive skills. These underlying cognitive or brain processing skills are the foundation for learning, enabling us to understand, interpret and apply information. Underdeveloped cognitive skills hinder the way a student processes information and learns. Students may get "stuck" and no amount of academic tutoring can fix this issue because it doesn't address the source of the difficulties.
Improving cognitive skills helps raise a student's learning potential. This leads to gains in intelligence, self-esteem and the ability to perform well in school and in life.
We can help with your child's learning disabilities, including:

Why doesn't academic tutoring solve the learning issues?
In order for someone to be a good learner, an entire continuum of learning skills must be in place and working efficiently. The ability to read, write, spell, understand and pay attention are all dependent on a series of underlying skills. These skills begin at the neuro-developmental level when children are born and continue all the way up to academic skills.
Academic tutoring helps students to adapt and compensate. While it can be helpful and supportive to a struggling student and family, this tutoring doesn't typically solve the problem. It only addresses academic skills and content and not brain processing skills. Intelligent children often compensate and hide their learning challenges until they "hit a wall." These students remain dependent on an academic tutor and appear less capable than they have the potential to be.
It does not have to be this way!
SoloQuest cognitive tutors have been trained in programs and techniques that attack the real cause of learning deficits at the underlying level.
How do we solve the learning challenges?
Research on the plasticity of the brain over the past 20 years has concluded that these learning issues can be changed -- permanently. So-called learning disabilities can be corrected with our one to one learning center techniques. We use "brain training" to help your child build the foundation necessary to become "unstuck" and allow him or her to overcome some of their learning challenges.
With our specialized training through cognitive tutoring, the brain can learn to think and process information in more effective ways. Students don't have to go through school and life "crippled" by their learning challenges.
Cognitive Tutoring provides a REAL solution!
By using specially developed exercises and programs, SoloQuest can help students actually form new neuro-pathways. They develop new, essential skills and bolster existing ones. Our cognitive tutors are trained to strengthen any abilities on the learning skills continuum, without drugs or surgery.
We believe every child deserves to feel confident and achieve success in academics. Call us to talk about a customized program that gives your student every chance to triumph.
