SmartDriver® Cognitive Training
Cognitive brain training programs are designed to impact the ability of an individual to perform at their highest level possible. Similar to the body’s muscle that needs to be exercised the brain can also be “worked out” and trained to reach its peak performance.
BrainTrain has developed a patented technology product to help young adults develop skills needed to become alert, safe drivers and older adult drivers to resharpen and/or preserve their cognitive skills, especially those associated with driving. Designed as a stimulating non-violent and non-aggressive driving game, this program builds cognitive skills, self-confidence, and self-esteem for those individuals who are experiencing problems with ADHD, Visual processing disorders, learning disabilities, or information processing due to brain injuries.
Divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels, the client would proceed through a course of thirty progressive levels of difficulty, driving well enough to avoid accumulating too many penalty points. Our training program requires two one-hour sessions per week over approximately 8 weeks, in our office, and is performed with a steering wheel and the computer.
Some of the many benefits include:
- Improve visual tracking ability
- Improve eye-hand coordination
- Improve planning and patience
- Improve attention to detail and concentration
- Increase your brain’s processing speed
- Improve working memory
- Improve confidence, self-esteem, and overall higher mental.
These improvements can lead to improved defensive driving skills.
