What is BrainWare Safari?
BrainWare Safari is a software program that provides comprehensive cognitive skills development in an entertaining and motivating video-game format. By improving students’ underlying mental processing skills, it enables them to be more successful across the curriculum, whether in reading, math or other subject matter.
Published research has demonstrated an average of over 4 years of cognitive growth in 12 weeks of using the program. BrainWare Safari benefits all students, not just those with special needs.
For students with special needs, however, it can help address many of the underlying barriers to learning that have prevented these students from being successful.
BrainWare Safari develops 41 cognitive skills in six broad areas:
· Attention
· Memory
· Sensory Integration
· Visual Processing
· Auditory Processing
· Logic/Reasoning
How Does BrainWare Safari Help a Student with Disabilities?
Because BrainWare Safari works on skills at the level of basic mental processes, it is applicable for a broad range of students with disabilities. It helps students, not by working around the areas of processing that operate as barriers to learning, but by using areas of relative strength to strengthen weaker areas and drive them to the level of automaticity.
The program benefits normal and high-performing students as well as those with identified learning issues. Application to specific areas of disability is provide in the following table:

Important features of BrainWare Safari Program for Student with Disabilities:
Each student progresses at his or her own pace through the program and will spend more time
working in areas where additional practice is needed.
The exercises in BrainWare derive from the practices of clinicians trained to work with students
with these types of disabilities, including vision therapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy,
and psychology.
Students may choose to listen to the instructions being read aloud, and read or listen to them
repeatedly if necessary.
Choices of a male or female voice and alternatives for the metronome sound are available since
some students find certain kinds of sounds easier to hear than others.
The video-game format makes BrainWare Safari fun and motivating. Students experience the
reward of success through the program.
The program comes with an optional rating scale that schools may use as a pre- and postassessment
to demonstrate progress.
Since developing underlying cognitive skills can boost performance across the curriculum,
BrainWare Safari can help students benefit more quickly and lastingly from other interventions
and curriculum.
Reporting features enable teachers and administrators to monitor student progress and print
reports that can be shared and discussed with an IEP team to gain a common understanding of a
student’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses and progress through the program.
