Will your child be able to achieve independence, happiness and success with learning disabilities and/or attention disorders? Are you concerned that compensation techniques will be inadequate or that accommodations available in the school system will not be feasible when your child eventually transitions into college, university, or the workforce? Learn more about how Eaton Arrowsmith School (EAS) strengthens the weak cognitive areas of the brain underlying a student’s learning disabilities and/or attention disorder to the point that they can be reintegrated into a full academic program at a public or private school with their peers.

For a child diagnosed with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD symptoms and other learning disabilities, EAS offers a solution with an end date rather than the lifetime of support usually prescribed. Students typically require individualized three- to four-year programs to improve their cognitive functioning so that they can successfully transition back into the regular mainstream environment with their peers. With improved cognitive functioning, students are then ready to effectively manage and comprehend academic content in mainstream public or private school classrooms. More importantly, students regain their confidence and return to school at their appropriate grade level where they can function with reduced, and in many cases without special education assistance or accommodations to aid previous weaknesses. Read some Testimonials about the impact Eaton Arrowsmith School has had on students and their families.

Established in Vancouver by Howard Eaton in 2005, the Eaton Arrowsmith School is a private school located on the UBC campus (and now in Surrey, BC) that specializes in implementing the Arrowsmith Program for elementary school students and secondary school students with learning disabilities as well as academic and social struggles. There is also an Eaton Arrowsmith School in Victoria for elementary and secondary school students (with a few spots for young adults) and the Eaton Brain Improvement Centre in Vancouver for adults and young adults (19 years and over).
