An Introduction to The PACE ( Processing & Cognitive Enhancement) Program
10/27/2005 - By Elizabeth Moxley Paquette
The Processing and Cognitive Enhancement (PACE) program was developed to train cognitive learning skills. It is referred to as a “mental boot camp”.
The PACE program can benefit a wide range of students and adults.Those who can benefit from the program include high or average performers who want to perform mental activities faster and more efficiently, and even better than before, as well as those who have learning difficulties.
Symptoms that do not seem to improve with just extra work or tutoring:
- Trouble paying attention and staying on task; easily distracted
- Working too slow or too hard
- Difficulty comprehending what is read
- Problems remembering, forgetting instructions
- Difficulty sounding out words and spelling
- Have problems creating mental pictures from a word math problem
- Making the same careless errors repeatedly without realizing it
Because of these processing problems and the resulting frustration, academic performance, self-esteem, and relationships with family and friends suffer. If something is not done to correct these deficiencies, the long term effects can be quite drastic impacting choices in future education, friendship circles, vocation, earning capacity and sense of personal well being.
PACE focuses on enhancing the cognitive abilities of a child that processes sensory information and that which the academic level relies upon. PACE does not teach academic content; rather it will help make learning easier and faster.
