PACE improves one’s ability to process and use sensory information to function well in everyday life. It is scientifically based and asserts that training procedures can change and improve the mind and its mental structure by retraining cognitive skills and processes. These skills are retrained through a series of tasks designed to meet specific goals. The tasks are related, make repetitive demands on a deficient skill, and progressively increase in difficulty. This is a process-specific approach to training (as opposed to a general stimulation approach).

PACE works to modify the mental processing needed for learning and life. Numerous studies show this modification is possible. Review a sample of studies supporting that a wide range of cognitive skills can be – and have been improved.

PACE training sessions are intensive.

PACE is a one-on-one program that is fast-paced and intensive. Trainers provide constant feedback as the students progress through sequenced levels. Each procedure is graded according to difficulty, and tasks become progressively more complex. Pace is regulated by mastery, so the number of tasks completed during training differs from student to student. In other words, once the student passes a task, they are then allowed to progress to the next challenge (and more complex task).
