Targeted Cognitive Intervention
Our interventions and innovation strengthen the neural pathways that cultivate strong readers and lifelong learners.
At Carroll, we believe our job is to create better learners. That's why we developed TCI. Targeted Cognitive Intervention (TCI) gets to the underlying causes of a child’s specific learning challenges and helps strengthen brain circuits that promote effective and efficient learning. We liken it to building superhighways in the brain.
What is Targeted Cognitive Intervention?
TCI is an educational practice powered by a technological platform that uncovers each child’s unique learning profile by identifying underlying cognitive weaknesses related to reading and learning in children with language-based learning differences and then delivers interventions based on their specific profile. The goal is to drive faster communication between brain regions to develop a stronger, more efficient reading network.
TCI is built for teachers, empowering them with the data, tools, insight, and training to deliver the exact cognitive intervention the child needs to more efficiently process, organize, and use information. The results are astounding.
Neuroscience needs to inform how we’re educating our students. We have the knowledge, data, and tools to tell them how their brain works and help them change how their brain works—and then they can take ownership of how their brains function. That’s transformative.

How does TCI work?
*TCI includes cognitive interventions powered by CogniFit brain games scientifically designed to train 22 cognitive skills, including a set of skills designed to assess and improve their reading comprehension.
What Impact Are We Seeing?
Targeted Cognitive Intervention: A Decade of Results
In this replay of a live webinar, you will learn how Targeted Cognitive Intervention (TCI) helps students make faster progress in reading. Jen Brock, Head of Product & Cognitive Research, Louisa French, Lead Educational Analyst, and Ben Shepard, TCI Curriculum Coordinator will present the results of our 10 year study showing how cognitive intervention helps students become more efficient learners.
The Power of Neuroplasticity and TCI
In teacher team meetings, at parent-teacher conferences, and in Renée’s office as she talks to research partners, one word comes up repeatedly: neuroplasticity. Everyone is talking about how Carroll School changes brains and transforms students’ lives. But how?
Targeted Cognitive Intervention (White Paper)
How can cognitive neuroscience inform educational practice? The implications of a cognitive-neuroscientific framework of reading in the brain.
A Novel Approach to Improving Reading Fluency
John D.E. Gabrieli, research partner at Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology and Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences Massachusetts Institute of Technology, discusses how Targeted Cognitive Intervention is improving reading fluency in struggling readers.
