Cogmed

What is Cogmed?

Cogmed is an evidence based cognitive training program for improving attention designed by cognitive neuroscientists and psychologists who recognised through research that the working memory capacity is not fixed. It has been validated in several large-scale clinical trials and experiments, with findings published in more than 120 scientific articles. The program can make a significant difference to an individual with ADHD, ASD and learning difficulties.

What is the working memory and why is it important?

Working memory is the ability to hold information in our minds, keeping it active for a short length of time, so that we can use it in our thinking. It is critical for following directions, shutting out distractions, focusing our attention, learning, and successfully completing tasks.

How does it work?

The online program works by strengthening the working memory capacity through specific and intensive tasks that are delivered by an accredited coach who will support your child and encourage their motivation and compliance.
