The Ultimate Learning Tools

Research has shown that cognitive skills are a determining factor of an individual's learning ability, that weak underlying cognitive skills account for the majority of learning and reading difficulties, and that cognitive skills training is the most successful form of intervention.

Audiblox is a multisensory cognitive enhancement program, aimed at the development of foundational learning skills such as concentration, perception, memory, and logical thought. It improves performance in reading, spelling, writing and math.

Audiblox is adaptable for the gifted and less gifted, can be used at home and in school, and is applicable for all age groups. It can develop the learning skills of the high school learner to a very high degree, while it can also be used to prepare the preschool child for reading and learning from as early as three years of age.

Audiblox is effective for a variety of learning difficulties including dyslexia and dysgraphia. Improvements of as high as 40% in school achievement have already been obtained through the use of Audiblox.

Now, there is the added advantage of Compublox 2008, the new software equivalent of Audiblox, compatible with Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista. Compublox is suitable for schoolchildren, students, business people, and the elderly. For older adults, doing mental exercises can ward off degenerative brain diseases and age-related mental decline.

What Professionals Say

"Audiblox opens up new vistas for all those with learning and reading problems. It is based on scientific learning and reading principles that have been researched over a period of years by Dr. Jan Strydom…. It provides answers to many of the riddles that have been plaguing experts on the subject of learning and reading problems…. For the first time there is real hope in the battle against learning and reading problems, not only inside the classroom, but also outside. Dr. Strydom must be congratulated on a revolutionary, brilliant, but at the same time simple and easily applicable program." — Prof. E. J. van Niekerk, University of South Africa.

"I have referred many students so that they might follow the program, both in individual and group situations. Without exception I was impressed by the positive results that were achieved. A factor that, in my opinion, enhances the value of the program is the fact that such positive results could be noticed in all age groups — toddlers, children, young university students and adults…. Also to persons who wish to improve their cognitive abilities — even when no specific learning problem is present — the program has shown its undeniable value." — Dr. B. H. du Toit, Psychologist, University of Pretoria.

What Causes Dyslexia? An Alternative Theory
Reading is the most important skill that a child must acquire at school, because one must learn to read to be able to read to learn. The implication of this is that the child who is a poor reader will usually also be a poor learner. Unfortunately poor reading skills, and therefore poor learning skills, have become a reality for an alarming number of people. Read more…

Neuroplasticity: An Extraordinary Discovery of the Twentieth Century
In the past few years neurologists have dismantled, piece by piece, the entrenched view that the human brain is fixed and unchanging in adults. It was long believed that once we grow up, our brains have a set number of neurons performing functions in a fixed way. According to the theory of neuroplasticity, thinking, learning, and acting actually change both the brain's functional anatomy from top to bottom, and its physical anatomy. Canadian psychiatrist Norman Doidge has called neuroplasticity one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century. Read more…
