Cogmed - Adult working memory training software to be released in the U.S.
I am excited to share with you news that the adult version of the Cogmed working memory training program will soon be available in the U.S! Jonas Jendi, CEO of Cogmed, announced that this adult tool for improving focus and concentration should be arriving in the next 2-3 weeks. The Cogmed home-based software program originated in Sweden and is based on the neuroscience research work of Dr. Torkel Klingberg at the Karolinska Institute. For those of you interested in the science behind working memory training, Dr. Torkel’s website, www.klingberglab.se, posts full journal articles on the benefits of training working memory in multiple conditions such as ADHD, stroke, and normal aging.
Over the past 6 months we at ADD Health and Wellness have had great success with the child version of the software and are pleased to now be able to extend this treatment option to our adult clients as well. Clients completing the program report signficant improvements in attention, learning, and academic skills with this brain training.
The working memory training program offers great flexibility. It can be done -
- in both children and adults
- in person or by phone.
- in individuals with other co-existing condtions or learning disabilities
- in conjunction with multiple other treatment modalities
For a free demo of the software, visit www.Cogmed.com
