Last year, Marburn Academy, a K-12 school for dyslexic and ADHD
students in Columbus, OH, was the site for the first large scale
school-based study of cogmed in the U.S. The study involved a total
of 65 ADHD students. Following the 6 week intervention, a substantial
majority of the subjects showed significant improvement on working
memory tests and on measures of school and home performance in areas
impacted by working memory deficits. The study has been submitted for
publication in a peer reviewed journal. If you want more details,
call me at 614-433-0822.
