Hi,

Our daughter (9 year) was tested with and they found her working memory weak. Last summer we did the COGMED training. You can find info on the website www.cogmed.com. It is a 5 week computer training at home. They have to do 8 excercises per day 5 days in a row. Then they have a 2 day break and that 5 weeks long. Per day it takes almost an hour. You have a weekly contact with a cogmed coach by phone. Al the results are send daily to the central computer in the united states. Our daughter has improved a lot. She is able to memorize the timetables now, she could not do before.
We did not have to push her a lot to do the training daily. The training provide also an awarding system. For us it worked the best to do it every morning before she started school. We had the agreement with school that it was not a problem at all that she would arrive a bit later.
succes
