Overview:

Cogmed Working Memory Training is a solution you can offer to individuals who are held back by their working memory capacity.

Were born with a deficit
Acquired a deficit through brain injury or disease
Developed a deficit through natural decline caused by aging
Face career demands and wish to improve job performance or test performance

Working memory is the ability to keep information in your mind for a short time, focus on a task, and remember what to do next. By training working memory, students will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, and start and finish tasks.

Fundamentals:

$1475 per person to have it delivered privately (not through schools)
1 day accreditation course for $2000 to become an accredited cogmed coach

It operates as a 5 week programme, 35-50 minutes per day (the child will take somewhere between those times to complete the day’s programme)
25 lessons over the 5 weeks – one per day
$300 per student ($3,600 is charged for 10 students and 4 teachers)
6:1 ratio is the ideal

How it works is that the learning support teacher is coached through the programme via an online 3-hour tutorial. The teacher (facilitator) is then to complete one full course (25 lessons) in tandem with his/her students.

It is not a parallel programme nor a programme that requires a full school ‘shift’ to accommodate.

The CogMed deliver three programmes – pre-school, school-aged student and adults.
