It seems it’s been a few years since anyone posted about Cogmed, a working memory program for LD and ADHD geared to improving math and reading in particular.
Has anyone had good experience with it to date, especially if you’ve been doing it for at least a few months?
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, down from $1500-1800 several years ago.
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.
