Description

Debbie Gilmore, Executive Director of Arrowsmith Program, presents:

Addressing Learning Difficulties: A Cognitive Approach

Learning difficulties do not have to be lifelong. A cognitive program can identify and strength the underlying causes of learning difficulties, using the principles of neuroplasticity.

In this presentation, Debbie will describe a number of learning difficulties, from those that impact the learner in school as well as in daily life. The focus will be on learning difficulties that impact academic performance, such as reading and writing, and some of the research studies demonstrating brain-related change and enhanced cognitive and academic performance as a result of engaging in a cognitive approach to addressing learning difficulties.

Please join us to hear about how the Arrowsmith Program can help people of any age overcome their learning difficulties so they become independent and self-motivated learners for life.


About Debbie Gilmore

Debbie Gilmore is the Executive Director of Arrowsmith Program, starting in this position in August 2014. Prior to that she worked for eighteen months as the Arrowsmith Program representative in Australia and New Zealand. Debbie first heard about the Arrowsmith Program when she was Head of Diverse Learning Needs at the Catholic Education Office, Sydney, Australia which opened the first Arrowsmith Program in January 2013. Debbie knew that students with learning difficulties needed more support in schools. Her work as a teacher, literacy adviser, assistant principal and principal helped her understand the need to ‘unlock’ the potential of these students. Her role as a mother of a son with learning difficulties gave her first hand experience of the struggles of these individuals. After spending a year in Peterborough, Canada where her son commenced his Arrowsmith journey at Barbara Arrowsmith Young’s Arrowsmith School, she saw the benefits of the program and the changes to her son’s independence and academic learning.

Debbie holds a Masters of Education and various Graduate Certificates in Education in a range of areas of diverse learning.
