When we talk about the possibility of AI 'curing' dyslexia, what we really mean is to ask if it can be a useful tool in overcoming these challenges.

Research has revealed that the pandemic significantly impacted children entering the reception year in 2020/21

A rainy day in London last December 2022 reminded me of the journey I took to get where I am now in a very unexpected way….My worries just kept on snowballing out of control. I was terrible at spelling. I knew it, my assistant knew it, and the whole architecture studio I worked in knew 'spelling' was not my thing. I was a designer, not a wordsmith.

As a Neurocognitive Therapist, I work with all sorts of curious learning glitches. One that seems to be cropping up more and more in recent years is not being able to read the time. Children, who otherwise have the reasonable ability, are stumped at telling the time from an analogue clock!

On one of my re-reads of this book, I was on holiday in a small Indian village.  As I was reading, I was also watching the children of the village play in their extended family setting environments…….. Sadly, this story is not one that had a happy ending, but it is one that teaches us an important lesson. Fortunately, laws have changed since then and children can no longer be left alone like this.

Here, at Raviv Practice London, we have developed a new method that shows more valuable data about the positive effects taking place. While we still use Cogmed as an objective measure, we have also introduced our own, more subjective, measure in the form of a questionnaire.

Cogmed is a clinical software program, worked on at home, on the computer. Raviv Practice London has been using this program since it arrived in the United Kingdom in 2008. We are the leaders in terms of experience and have a track record of working directly with Cogmed (the makers of Cogmed) and then with Pearson Clinical (distributors of Cogmed). At Raviv Practice London, Cogmed is part of a more extensive therapeutic intervention for 90% of our students.

More and more individuals are showing signs of ADHD. The fast-paced world we live in, and all its many distractions, means we are constantly flitting from one task to another. So, how can you solve such a prevalent problem and stay on task?

When I started working together with seven year old Kiran, I knew I had taken on a big challenge. Our initial sessions would entail a lot of resistance and crying for no apparent reason. Things changed when I started using Bal-A-Vis-X

There is nothing more annoying than when you read badly punctuated sentences. We should all have a pen handy when we see lousy punctuation.

Beta is a 'fast' activity, present when we are alert, attentive, engaged in problem solving, judgment, decision making, or other focused mental activity – find out how Bal-A-Vis-X helps beta brainwave activity.

Motor planning is the ability of the body to create movement so we can perform a task. When playing with mobiles, babies will thrash their arms and legs on seeing the suspending toy. They aim for the toy but do not grab it.

Traditionally, our mainstream education system tells us that a child is successful when they achieve at classic activities, such as reading and writing. We rarely associate academically bright children with learning difficulties…

Hands-up if you are a parent who has been working with your child for over three terms on the same spellings? In fact, some children may spend years working on the same words.

Imagine the scenario; you can smell that delicious home-made meal

The feeling we are connected to others makes us feel safe in ourselves
