Our Programs

Targeted programs designed around how you learn.

The Brain Workshop offers targeted cognitive, reading, maths and developmental programs in Dubai. Each one is chosen from an individual assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan, so support is built around the skills that actually need it.

Personalised assessment • One-to-one support • Children, teenagers and adults

Where to start

The same difficulty can have very different causes.

Two learners can struggle with reading, focus or maths for entirely different reasons. One may find it hard to hold information in mind, another to process sounds, another to sustain attention long enough to finish. That is why we measure before we recommend anything.

  • A structured Cognitive Skills Assessment comes first
  • Results are explained in plain English
  • A program is matched to the areas identified
  • Progress is reviewed with measurable data

Our programs

A personalized starting point for all programs.

Each program is designed to support a different need. Your assessment tells us which one fits.

Which program is right for me?

Start with what you're looking for support with.

Are you looking for support with any of the following?

  • Attention and focus
  • Memory and learning
  • Reading
  • Maths
  • Broader cognitive skills
  • Early development
  • More complex learning needs
  • Maintaining progress over the summer

Whichever answer you recognise, the best starting point is the same. Recommendations should be based on an individual's cognitive profile rather than the presenting difficulty alone, so a Cognitive Skills Assessment tells us which program is likely to help most.

Assessment first

We measure before we recommend.

An assessment gives a clearer picture of genuine strengths alongside the areas that may benefit from support, so the program that follows is built on evidence.

  1. 01

    Assess

    A structured Cognitive Skills Assessment builds a clear picture of the individual's cognitive profile.

  2. 02

    Identify

    We look at which underlying skills may be affecting learning, reading, maths or everyday performance.

  3. 03

    Train

    We recommend the most appropriate program and build it around the areas identified.

FAQs

Questions we're asked first.

Which program is right for my child?+

That depends on their cognitive profile rather than the difficulty you can see. After a Cognitive Skills Assessment we talk you through the results and recommend the program best suited to the areas identified.

Do I need an assessment first?+

Yes. We measure before we recommend, so every program starts with a Cognitive Skills Assessment. It means the plan is built on evidence rather than assumptions.

What does a Cognitive Skills Assessment measure?+

It measures core cognitive skills including attention, working memory, processing speed, visual and auditory processing, and logic and reasoning, comparing results with age-based norms.

Are your programs suitable for adults?+

Yes. We work with university students and adults across work, study and everyday life, with sessions scheduled around working hours where possible.

Do you work with younger children?+

Yes. Our Early Intervention program is designed for younger children, using gentle, age-appropriate activities to support foundational skills.

Can you help with reading difficulties?+

ReadRx is designed to support reading by working on both reading skills and the underlying cognitive skills reading depends on, such as auditory processing and working memory.

Can you help with maths difficulties?+

MathRx aims to strengthen the thinking skills involved in learning and working with maths, including number sense, working memory and reasoning.

How long do programs last?+

Program length varies with the individual's profile, goals and session frequency. We set out the recommended duration clearly after the assessment so you know what to expect before committing.

Is BrainRx tutoring?+

No. Tutoring teaches subject content. BrainRx trains the underlying cognitive skills used to learn that content, which is why it is planned from an assessment rather than a syllabus.

Does The Brain Workshop diagnose ADHD or dyslexia?+

No. Our assessment is not a medical or diagnostic assessment and does not provide a formal diagnosis. It measures cognitive skills and shows which of them may be contributing to the difficulties experienced.

What happens after the assessment?+

We meet with you to explain the results in plain English, discuss the areas that may benefit from support, and recommend the most appropriate program and next step. There is no obligation to continue.

You don't have to keep working around the same difficulties.

Take the first step towards understanding your cognitive strengths and the areas that may be making reading and processing more difficult.
