Attention and focus are extremely important in academic success and maximizing potential. And yet, for many, staying focused is difficult. In this session we will explore the brain’s ability to change and adapt, using a very targeted approach, leading to enhanced focus and improved attention.

It is possible to conquer the challenges of ADHD, change the brain and to thrive in various aspects of life, including education and personal pursuits.

Join Debbie Gilmore, Executive Director, Arrowsmith Program, as she dives into the factors behind focus and attention difficulties, including ADHD. Gain valuable insights into how these challenges affect daily life and well-being, and learn about innovative ways to support concentration and reduce distractions.

3 key takeaways:

• Learn the underlying factors contributing to focus and attention difficulties, including ADHD.

• Discover how targeted interventions can enhance your child’s ability to concentrate and manage distractions.

• Develop a deeper understanding of how attention challenges impact your child’s daily life and overall well-being.

Do you or your second language students struggle to move beyond basic conversation? Does language learning feel like an uphill battle against memory and processing speed? Let’s explore the brain and what lies beneath the "language barrier."

Join Tara Bonner as she discusses the cognitive factors behind successful second and foreign language acquisition. Gain valuable insights into why some learners struggle with grammar and syntax while others excel, and learn about innovative, brain-based approaches to enhance linguistic intuition and communication confidence.

3 Key takeaways:

1. Uncover the Cognitive Roots: Learn the underlying brain functions that contribute to ease or difficulty in acquiring a new language.

2. Beyond the Textbook: Discover how targeted cognitive interventions can enhance the brain's ability to "map" a new language, leading to more natural fluency.

3. Boost Learner Confidence: Develop a deeper understanding of how language barriers impact a learner’s identity and well-being, and how to provide the right support to overcome them.

Our executive function is like the CEO of the brain. It helps us attend to what is important and what is not. It helps us plan and organize. However, for some, it is difficult. In this session we will explore the components that lie beneath the complexity of executive functioning and find out how, using the brain’s ability to change, we can optimize executive functions, leading to improved decision-making, strategic planning, and overall effectiveness.

Does your child struggle with planning and organizing?

Do they find it hard to make decisions?

Has your child been diagnosed with executive function difficulties?

Let’s explore the brain and what lies beneath these labels.

3 Key takeaways:

1. Learn how it affects your child’s ability to plan, organize, and manage tasks.

2. Explore how brain growth impacts focus, impulse control, and emotional management.

3. Discover how improving executive function skills supports success in school and life.

The lifestyle choices we make across our lifespan dictate our cognitive trajectory for decades. Cognitive reserve is your brain’s "savings account"—a buffer of resilient neural pathways that allows you to maintain high performance even when faced with age-related changes or hormonal shifts like menopause.

In this session, we will explore how to proactively build this reserve and keep the brain agile, adaptable, and sharp well into the later stages of life.

Arrowsmith's Tara Bonner will encourage her audience to  beyond the advice of "doing puzzles" and look at the deep structural changes that occur when we challenge our brains correctly. Gain valuable insights into how to build a brain that can withstand the tests of time, stress, and hormonal transitions.

3 Key takeaways:

1. Your Brain's Saving Account: Understand the role of cognitive reserve can play in learning, performance, qualiy of life, and aging well.

2. Targeted Neuroplasticity: Discover the specific types of "cognitive load" that actually change brain structure, rather than just passing the time.

3. Early Intervention Strategies: Learn how to identify the early signs of cognitive fatigue and implement evidence-based habits that protect executive function and memory as you age.
