The Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment Difference
Unlike traditional assessments that seek to diagnose a learning disability such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, poor executive function, attention problems such as ADHD, or auditory processing disorder, the Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment goes beyond such diagnoses by measuring the capacities of discrete cognitive functions responsible for virtually all learning and performance.
For many, an Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment report is the first opportunity to truly understand the underlying causes of one’s experiences – including successes, struggles, inconsistencies and self-concept.
Based on foundational neuroscientific research, Arrowsmith recognizes learning and performance as the result of the complex interactions of brain networks. These networks are comprised of distributed regions of the brain, and each perform their own unique job, which Arrowsmith calls cognitive functions.
