Do you feel like you know you have great potential but need help reaching it?
One of our signature programs, SMART™ (Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training) is designed to enhance student learning by teaching how to learn, not just what to learn, through the use of strategies to increase reasoning, problem solving and innovative thinking.
Over the past several years we have seen benefits for both typical and non-typical learners who have participated in this program. Through our partnership with DISD, our research has shown SMART-trained students have:
50% improvement in executive function
50% increase in standardized test passing rates in reading, math, science and social studies
48% reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms
