At Indigo Learning Centre our goal is to bring the best of neuroscience research together with good learning practices. Our programs develop the essential skills of language, reading and learning.
We use a method based on science and measured results in all our programs. Whether you are looking for help with an auditory processing disorder, dyslexia or wanting to get your child off to a great start with a pre-school programme. Our team of health and educational professionals builds cognitive and language skills using a systematic program that is designed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the student, pinpointing their developmental priority areas. Students see significant gains in memory, attention, sequencing and processing speeds. We at Indigo Learning Centre are committed to the latest scientific approach, based on groundbreaking outcomes in neuroscience, which drives results in an effective manner.
Neuroscience and Education
The research shows a one to two grade level reading gain in 8 to 12 weeks. When the brain’s processing skills become more efficient, substantial and quick gains in reading skills are often the outcome.

He seems a lot more?motivated and positive about studying and isn?t as overwhelmed by large volumes of?work a he was in the past. He can now engage with a body of text and pull out relevant information a lot more confidently than he used to. His processing and understanding of information has improved and he happily explains and discusses terms and concepts, something that needed to be drawn out of him previously. He is also reading a lot more, not only academic text, but newspapers, magazines and books. This is something he used to avoid in the past and which he seems to enjoy a lot more these days."
