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 build 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.

Beverley from Constantia (7 year old son)
Test15
"Since beginning the programme at the beginning of this year I’ve seen a difference in the way Dayne engages with his work. 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."

Test5
"My young boy of 7 years was experiencing difficulties in concentration, attention and problem solving in Grade 1. Subsequently I requested to join the Indigo learning experience. Within 2 months his teacher was extremely impressed with the progress Ivan made in class. He was suddenly calmer in class, showed improved concentration, his work was improving tremendously and his marks improved from average to outstanding in his reading, maths and problem solving. He is doing extremely well in Grade 2 and his teacher is very pleased with his progress. I can recommend the course to every child as I am convinced that the programme will prove to be successful."
Liesel (7 year old son)
Test4
"I really think this programme pays off and is very much worth while. It made him a better listener in class and like at-home conversations, to take part, too. His comprehension of discussions (say between his siblings) has changed. The link between listening, comprehension and being able to express himself (in connection with what he has heard/decided), has definitely changed."
Mia (17 year old son)
