A packed theater at AUT, with
an audience from all over NZ, listened to Barbara speak about her book and her
work with the Arrowsmith Program, a cognitive exercise programme for children
with learning disabilities that is in more than 40 schools worldwide,
including Australia and one in New
Zealand.
The
Arrowsmith Program is founded on neuroscience research and over 30 years of
experience demonstrating that it is possible for students to strengthen the
weak cognitive capacities underlying their learning dysfunctions through a
program of specific cognitive exercises.

Barbara
agreed with Eva that sensory stimulation – building secure attachment
programmes in early childhood is very helpful and can decrease and
prevent cognitive learning difficulties in school.
