Why Does The Simply Smarter System Work?

Simply Smarter is built on 40 years of clinical practice in brain development techniques. It’s a targeted system rooted in proven practice that adapts to how we learn, through visual and auditory exercises. These powerful tools allow you to exercise your brain with online activities that take just minutes each day.

Works With The Brain

We primarily learn through what we see and hear, and our brains have the ability to grow and develop with the right amount of stimulation.

  • Start with a personal assessment to begin training at your level.

  • Visual and auditory exercises build a baseline for processing information.

  • Exercises progress in complexity as you improve, challenging your brain to continue growing and developing.

Helps Build Memory, Helps Build Brain Power

The Simply Smarter system uses individualized progressions to train your short-term and working memory. Together these two types of memory form the basis for processing and storing information in the brain.

  • Exercises challenge you to remember and manipulate increasingly complex information.
  • The system adapts as you improve, delivering new challenges to grow your memory.
  • Your online dashboard tells you how your brain’s processing power has improved over time, and assigns your next challenge.

Powered by NACD

Simply Smarter was born from decades of clinical practice in brain development work performed by the National Association of Child Development (NACD).

  • We have seen the results in tens of thousands of clients, from severely disabled to gifted.
  • Simply Smarter’s online exercises are the most effective from our practitioners’ proven experience.
  • The system is constantly being updated based on the latest clinical research.
