The Learning Curve is proud to be a COGMED Qualified Practice

Cogmed program for ADD and Working Memory

What is Cogmed?
Cogmed Working Memory Training is an evidence-based, computerized training ;program designed by leading neuroscientists to improve attention by effectively increasing working memory capacity over a five week training period.

Cogmed does not teach you new skills.  We help you create a platform for learning skills.  There are many programs for various skills such as reading, math, or time management.  Cogmed acts on a different, more fundamental level.  Once your working memory has improved, you will find that acquiring new skills is suddenly much easier for you.

Cogmed is a solution that improves working memory  allowing you to focus and resist distractions better.  It is based on peer-reviewed, published research by leading scientists.  No other attention training programs can match the research behind Cogmed.
