Cogmed

Cogmed Working Memory Training is a home-based program that helps people with attention problems by training and increasing their working memory capacity.  Clinically proven results demonstrate that after training, people improve their ability to concentrate, control impulsive behavior and better utilize complex reasoning skills.  In addition, post-training evaluations show that Cogmed helps kids perform better in school.  Parents and teachers reported improved social skills, taking initiative, remembering instructions, and completing assignments more independently.    Adults have reported improvements in their ability to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, and start and finish tasks.   

Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic is proud to offer Cogmed, an evidence-based program for improved attention.  The program includes:  an initial interview, a start-up session, 5 weeks of training from home with weekly coaching calls, a wrap-up meeting, 6-month follow-up interview, access to the Cogmed training web, and the Cogmed extension program (12 months). This program is appropriate for preschool children, adolescents, adults, and elderly.
