Many children missed key developmental milestones during the pandemic. This blog explores how working memory impacts learning and what parents can do to support children struggling to keep up, especially those affected by disrupted early education.

Working memory is like your brain’s mental sticky note, essential for focus, learning, and planning. This blog explains what working memory is, why it matters, and how science-backed tools like Cogmed can improve it.

What is working memory, and why is it so important? If your child has difficulties following instructions, is challenged with mental maths or reading comprehension understanidng working memory is the first thing you need to learn about.

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.
