BrainWare Safari, Learning Enhancement Corporation
Award-winning BrainWare Safari builds learning capacity by incorporating neuroscience with video-game technology to strengthen foundational cognitive skills, including attention, memory, visual and auditory processing, sensory integration, and reasoning and logic. It comprehensively develops the underlying skills most critical for learning, benefitting users for a lifetime, not just for the next test, and giving them a stronger foundation for academic and workplace success.
In a peer-reviewed published study, students using the program experienced over 4 years intellectual growth on average in 12 weeks vs. 4 months for the control group, and almost 2 years improvement in academic skills vs. 1 month for the control group. Cognitive growth of up to 6 years in 12 weeks has been shown in a school setting.
The real basics are not reading, writing and math, but the mental functions that enable those processes to become acquired, that empower the acquisition of knowledge across the curriculum, and that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. BrainWare Safari's engaging video-game format makes learning truly fun for students of all ages. BrainWare Safari is the most comprehensive, scalable, cost-effective cognitive skill development program in the world.
