Reply To: COGMED?

Posted this on another forum here but just wanted to repeat:

Is anyone using Cogmed now? Been a while since the last post here, but we are just starting it.

One poster in another forum inappropriately stated that it was a waste because it hasn’t improved ADHD behavior. It’s not meant to improve behavior, just working memory.

I am also very interested in anyone who has had success getting Cogmed into a school system, so that it becomes free for students in need. Overcoming budget restriction arguments is a big one — Cogmed is apparently down to about $80/student cost to the District if they buy a bulk permit.

Otherwise, locally here we can get Cogmed through our neuropsych for $500 now.

Lumosity and other consumer sites may not be geared to the same working memory targets as Cogmed. I don’t know. but the issue with Lumosity-type sites are whether the gains there are generalized to memory across longer time frames, whereas Cogmed is geared to shorter memory in reading and math.

thanks for any response,
