An Arrowsmith Assessment measures the functioning of the 19 different cognitive functions that the Arrowsmith Program can address.This Assessment will take about 1 to 1 ½ days to complete and results will be ready for the Assessment Briefing within 3-5 days.
At the Assessment Briefing, the School Principal will have an opportunity to meet the child or adult who has been assessed, and their families, to explain the results of the Arrowsmith Assessment, presented in the form of an Initial Learning Profile. This Learning Profile describes a student’s cognitive profile as a list of strengths and difficulties, and will highlight which Arrowsmith Program exercises would be best suited to fundamentally improve learning ability. Program options (Full Time, Part Time, Motor Symbol Sequencing Program, Cognitive Intensive Program) will be discussed at this stage.
Arrowsmith School will consider any student for enrolment. Our Admissions team will speak with parents and will ask to see a wide variety of reports, assessments, and observations in order to round out the picture of who each student is as a learner and to determine that Arrowsmith School is the proper fit for that student.
The decision as to whether a student who is experiencing difficulty at school may be suitable for Arrowsmith School can usually be made based on discussion by telephone with parents and often with the students themselves. Where necessary, we can also review school report cards and results of academic and psychological testing.
Our experience has shown that most parents can identify with great accuracy the problems that their child is having at school. Each student enrolling at Arrowsmith is assessed to determine the student’s learning profile and to plan the student’s program. Information about the assessment procedure is in the Assessment section of our web site.
