Our daughter had been tested and they found that she had a weak working memory. The school advised to do the COGMED training to improve her working memory. We are happy that we followed the advise. The COGMED training is a computer training you do with you child at home. It is an intensive training. They have to play all kind of memory games and the computer increase or decrease the level according to the results. There are in total 12 games. They have to play 8 games per day. If they do well the games change the next day. They have to do it 5 days in a row for 5 weeks. To play all the games it will take up to an hour per day. After the training is finished you can use the program for the rest of the year. Our daughter improved a lot. Also at school they noticed the difference. I can recommend it. Info at www.cogmed.com. Let me know if you like to have more info.
