Attention
Training sustained attention, selecting what's important, and returning focus to a task.
Every child learns differentlySo their program should be different too
A.B.I.C. — Advanced Brain Training with Individual Cognitive Learning — is ZENITH Kid's Center's personalized learning program, designed from each child's own assessment data.
Instead of training every child the same way, we start with three questions: Where are your child's strengths? Which areas are getting in the way of learning and daily life? And which skills should be developed first?
Why Personalized?
Two children of the same age, or with the same diagnosis, don't necessarily have the same abilities or needs.
One child may struggle to sustain attention.
Another may focus well, but working memory is still a barrier.
Some may understand instructions but find it hard to control their body or emotions.
Training should therefore start from the child's Individual Profile, not from a Diagnosis alone.
What is A.B.I.C.?
A.B.I.C. is ZENITH Kid's Center's approach to personalized training, drawing on assessment data from multiple areas to help set each child's goals.
This data may include NDS/EEG results where appropriate, developmental assessment, behavior, observations from our specialist team, and information from parents.
From there, activities are designed to match each child's own goals.
Skills the Program Can Target
Working Memory
Training how to hold information briefly and use it, such as remembering multi-step instructions.
Executive Function
Training planning, inhibiting behavior, shifting between ways of thinking, and problem-solving.
Language & Communication
Supporting language comprehension, communication, and using language in real life.
Sensory Processing
Supporting how the child responds to and manages sensory information, based on their needs.
Motor & Coordination
Developing body control, coordination, and the skills involved in everyday activities.
Children don't learn from a screen alone
Brain Training + Play + Movement + Real-Life Learning
A.B.I.C. can combine multiple types of activity according to each child's goals, such as:
- Cognitive skills training
- Problem-solving
- Purposeful play
- Movement activities
- Sensory activities
- Activities that require language and interaction
and applying those skills in situations that resemble real life.
The Program Journey
01
Assessment
Understanding the child's abilities and needs.
02
Individual Goals
Setting goals specific to the child.
03
Personalized Activities
Selecting and designing activities to match the goals.
04
Training
Training through activities pitched at the right level of difficulty.
05
Progress Monitoring
Tracking the child's response and progress.
06
Adjustment
Reviewing and adjusting activities or goals based on real-world data.
The goal is skills that actually get used
From the training room to everyday life
Doing well in a session is only part of the picture of progress.
The more important goal is for the child to gradually apply their skills to learning, play, communication, self-care, and age-appropriate daily routines.
That takes a training program, progress monitoring, and collaboration with the family, all working together.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every child train the same way?
No. The program is set based on each child's assessment data and goals.
Do I need an NDS result first?
Which assessment methods to use depends on each case. The team considers what data is needed to plan for the child.
How many sessions before we see results?
There's no fixed number of sessions that applies to every child. Results depend on the goals, the child's starting skill level, consistency, and other individual factors.
Can you guarantee results?
A child's development involves many factors, so we can't guarantee one single outcome for every child. The team uses progress data to adjust the plan as appropriate.
