CogMed Training

For Children & Adults
Cogmed is a scientifically proven training program recommended for children and adults with attention and working memory problems. The training is conducted under a supervision of a licensed psychologist who has done the CogMed training- Leanne Kennedy.

What you get:

  • Initial interview: We schedule a session with the person interested in going through the program (or the parent if it is a child) to evaluate how he or she might benefit from the training. (1 session, 60 minutes)
  • Start-up session: We plan and structure the training together with the participant/family. (1 session – can be straight after initial interview – only book this if you definitely want to complete the training.)
  • Cogmed course:
    • Option 1: Optimum training is Five weeks of training with weekly coach calls or face-to-face:  The participant trains at home, progressing through with a coaching session
      each week. This can be by telephone or in person at the clinic depending on the participant’s needs. The Cogmed Coach talks to the participant on a weekly basis to
      provide advice on how to get the most out of the training, give feedback, and motivate progress. (5 sessions)
    • Option 2: Vary the schedule depending on how many days a week and how many minutes a day realistically suit you. Up to 14 weeks and the coaching sessions will be spread out accordingly.
  • Access to the cogmed training web: You can schedule your training at a time that suits you as you can sign on when you need to. Both the user and the Cogmed Coach review and monitor the results of each day's training, using our online system.
  • Wrap-up session: One month after the training is complete, we summarize the training with the participant and provide feedback data from the Cogmed rating scales. (1 session)
  • Six month follow-up interview: We re-evaluate the effects of the training, now that more time has elapsed and the effects have fully emerged. (1 session)
  • Cogmed extension training: The user may purchase access to more sessions of training with the software, to use over a 12-month period following the completion of the five-week training period to reinforce the benefits of Cogmed. The Cogmed Extension Training is optional.
