Interventions

  • Cogmed+ — BEHAVIORAL
    Cogmed is a home-based, digital working memory training program compatible with tablet devices. The program, designed for children ages 7 and older, consists of engaging cognitive exercises that target skills involving visuospatial and verbal working memory. An essential component of Cogmed training involves assignment of an intervention "coach" who has access to detailed data on the user's training data. Families will have videoconference meetings once per week with an intervention coach to review progress, provide feedback and answer any questions that arise during treatment. In addition, participants' coaching calls will be supplemented with direct instruction on the use of memory strategies. Social support interventions will also be provided involving three primary approaches: (1) multi-family Cogmed Kickoff social events; (2) social incentives; and (3) peer navigator support.
