I purchased Brainware-Safari for my daughter who has some cognitive delays. It consists of 20 different games and about 7 levels to each. It is designed to help strengthen the brain processing through a sort of play therapy. It is great, and along with other therapies, it is really helping. It is so much fun, my children can't wait to play next time. And, in the process of their playing, their brain is being challenged and growing!!
I told my friends, and many have purchased the product as well! I wish I had bought a license for my...(more)

My 14 year old son loves this! He gets really excited when he achieves success with a challenging level. It is a great product and keeps his attention and I dont have to force him to do it. We will continue to use it and see the effects after a year.

What a wonderful program. I've seen increases in short and long term memory, concepts, and vision since utilizing the program with my children. Frustration has hit when they've had to work through some difficult areas but the excitement when achieved is fantastic. We have taken a break then gone back to the program and they're excited about their advancements.

My son has ADHD and visual-spatial processing problems. Prior to Brainware Safari, I would have to sit next to him the whole time he worked on his math, just to keep him on task. About 3 weeks into solid work on Brainware Safari, he was able to do complete math assignments on his own! Researchers in ADHD are beginning to theorize that it's problems with working memory that cause the inattention characteristic of ADHD, rather than the other way around. I think that the Brainware exercises definitely improved my son's working memory.
This is a great product! Our son is having fun watching his leopard grow from a cub to a teenage cub. My husband or I sit with our son as he works on the different levels for the times when he gets frustrated..we can tell the program is working because as he loses to a level, he will say.."who designed these fast games anyway...an Engineer like Daddy?"...this breaks the ice, we then laugh and he continues on with the program. I feel this positive approach, even while losing to the clock, is a great way to encourage him and has helped speed u...(more)

Short of doing a clinical study, it would be hard to say any product instantly improves IQ or attention, but given the plasticity of the brain it's a safe assumption that the benefits are positive. That means it comes down to the quality of the product, and Brainware Safari succeeds very well. The challenges are varied, and, well, challenging. In fact the last problems on certain levels will be challenging for adults as well, so be prepared to scratch your head.
If I could recommend any improvement, it would be the ability to review problems....(more)

My 11.5 year old daughter is becoming stronger and quicker in her critical thinking skills. We are really happy with our purchase of Brainware Safari. She will continue to use it until full completion. I have her login 5 days per week for 30 mins. We really feel that it's helping her.

We had an evaluation at a franchise and were recommended for about $14,000 worth of brain work. I bought Brain Safari for my 14yr old son, 15yr old daughter and for myself (55). I am nearly finished with the program. I can't say what it has done for the kids yet, but I know for myself, I have a much better degree of concentration and memory. I am looking forward to seeing improvement in my daughter's logic and my son's processing speed. My children enjoy the program and I have not had to remind them to do it. It cost us less than one hour o...(more)

I only wish we had found Brainware Safari sooner. This program has been very helpful for my 11yr old daughter - she is highly gifted but has always had issues with visual processing, persistence, and retention of certain skills. She has made great strides in all these areas since completing Brainware Safari. I must admit, I was a bit put off by the 'infomercial' and almost didn't purchase - I would love to see a less cutesy version for older users. I would also prefer to be able to revisit activities rather than only having once through the...(more)
