A 14-year-old student struggling academically due to working memory deficits saw remarkable improvement after COGMED training. Targeted working memory exercises help children focus, retain information, and build confidence.

England’s Euros 2024 defeat highlights how strong emotions can challenge rational thinking. For children with neurodiversity, harnessing emotions positively is key to achieving their goals and building success.

Your brain may not lift weights, but it can be trained for strength. This post explores the similarities between physical and cognitive training, especially how working memory can be improved with tools like Cogmed.

Poor emotional regulation can obstruct progress, stopping us from achieving our goals. Most adults will find a way to regulate their emotions for the majority of the time, but children need to learn how to navigate their emotional states as they grow. Most of the time, this is all perfectly normal and you will find a way to address it naturally as your child develops.

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!

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.

A child’s life is full of milestones, and sometimes it seems like they flash by in a blur! One day they are a tiny infant in your arms, and then suddenly they are off to nursery. It only seems like 5 minutes after that they are getting ready to go to school full-time.

I am the first to admit I am not the biggest football fan. After the allocated 90 minutes of play and no overall winner, I blurted out “oh! they will go into 'overtime!’” My child's eyes rolled, and my family corrected me to 'NOooo! EXTRA TIME!'
