Why cognitive development is a critical focus for education and society

Send us Fan MailBarbara Arrowsmith-Young is the author of “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain.” When I read this book a few years ago, I knew it was the answer to some challenges we were experiencing with one of our sons. After many years of struggling to find the right answer, it has been amazing and completely transformed his life, and by default, ours too. Barbara has been touring the world for decades, talking about the brain, neuroplasticity, and she never tires of prioritizing the message about the importance of cognitive functioning. Her vision is to put the Brain in the Education Equation. Her work begun in 1978 and is recognized as one of the first examples of the practical application of neuroplasticity to address learning difficulties. Since then, its application has expanded to address those dealing with traumatic brain injury, addiction, cognitive decline with aging and those who want to enhance performance. We covered many things, including a look at Barbara’s life, including when she understood she had a challenge with her own brain, as well as the limited possibilities placed on her from a very young age by educators.  The realms of research created since this program started, showing the incredible results possible and there’s so much more to uncover. As well as where Covid fits into the mix, with neurological damage one of the findings gaining more and more attention since the beginning of the pandemic.Useful linksComplete the  Cognitive Questionnaire to receive a report on your unique learning profile   https://questionnaire.arrowsmithprogram.com/Check out our free five part Webinar Series: Shaping Our Brain  https://learn.arrowsmithprogram.com/webinar-series-shaping-our-brainsRead some great books on the power of the brain and cognitive transformation:  https://arrowsmithschool.org/books-3/For those interested in Research https://arrowsmithschool.org/research/Connect with Barbara on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-arrowsmith-young-she-her-42562b19/ You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
