In a school study, students used Skylar's Run 3-4x per week for 3-8 weeks.
- Inattention and hyperactivity symptoms: improved over 30%
- Math fluency: +9.5 months average gain
- Reading fluency: +14 months average gain
Empowering Every Learner: Thynk in Practice
Whether you are looking to close the achievement gap, support diverse learners, or enhance classroom focus, Thynk provides a scalable, neuroplasticity-based solution that fits seamlessly into your existing school day. Recommended for grades 2-8, Thynk fits into multiple models in your school or district:
General Education
- The Use Case: Use Thynk as a proactive Tier 1 tool to improve classroom "readiness" and decrease behavioral interruptions.
- The Impact: Integrating Thynk into daily rotations allows all students to benefit from improved focus and cognitive flexibility. By addressing executive function early, schools can reduce the volume of behavioral referrals and identify potential learning gaps before they become crises.
- The Result: A calmer, more focused classroom where students are equipped with the "mental tools" to stay on task, follow multi-step directions, and engage deeply with instruction.
MTSS
- The Use Case: Thynk provides a high-dosage Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention that functions as a "force multiplier" for your staff.
- The Impact: Deliver intensive, evidence-based cognitive training without hiring additional FTEs. Our platform automates progress monitoring, providing the objective data needed to move students confidently through the tiers of support.
- The Evidence: Based on our ESSA Level 2 studies, students utilizing Thynk demonstrated significant growth in executive function—the foundational "brain fuel" required for mastery of core subjects like Reading and Math.
Special Education
- The Use Case: Thynk serves as a specialized tool for students with ADHD and learning differences, focusing on the root causes of academic struggle: working memory, inhibition, and self-regulation.
- The Impact: We move beyond anecdotal observations. Thynk provides Special Education teams with precise, longitudinal data to track progress toward IEP goals. It strengthens the cognitive architecture students need to access their curriculum with greater independence.
- The Result: By improving a student’s ability to sustain attention and manage impulses, Thynk helps create a more equitable learning environment where every student has the mental "readiness" to learn.
Students with stronger executive function skills learn better — and when students learn better, every intervention that follows is more effective.
