Rehabilitation for Independence is a provider of COGMED Working Memory Training. This evidence-based approach is a computer-based training programme, which is designed to improve attention, by increasing working memory capacity, over a 5-week programme. Our staff are trained to support both children and adults through the programme.
Working memory is the cognitive function responsible for keeping information online, manipulating it, and using it in our thinking (typically, for a few seconds). It is necessary for staying focused on a task, blocking-out distractions and keeping us updated and aware of what is going on around us. We use our working memory constantly in daily life; helping us to perform efficiently and effectively in academic, professional and social settings.
The programme can be implemented at home and in schools.
