Abstract: The ability to learn and to comprehend is fundamental to a human being. In this article, authors intend to develop a system to enhance the cognitive skills specifically of intellectually challenged children, by stimulation techniques. Authors have analysed the components and concepts of the brain with the intellectually challenging situation at the cognitive level and then we move on to analyse the causes and followed by the stimulation techniques in improving the learning skills. Our method has been tested to evaluate the device. The system we have designed is called the Self-Involved Motivated Action Reward Technique (SMART) that can show improvement in the conditions of intellectually challenged children. The customised product that we developed in this system is elaborated with all the technical details. The stimulation caused by the SMART has caused intervention in the brain thereby increasing the efficiency of the brain. The surrounding environment and effort can change and shape the performance of the brain, whereas the number of neurons, their ability to make connections and to retain them, determines the quality of behaviour of the subject. This study demonstrates changes in cerebral blood flow patterns over a period of time during the execution of certain cognitive activities by people. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) are considered to be prohibitively expensive modalities. When used for the purpose of monitoring the progress of children with performance graph calculate up to 20, 40, and 60 days.
