[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking about Cogmed though International Diagnostic Solutions in NW DC. Dr. Richard Fleitas was the psychologist who provided it for a boy on our soccer team. His parents were pretty impressed by the process. They said it as hard but that their son found it challenging and he was able to do the program on their iPad. The forum here has many mixed reviews. Any other recent experiences would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]

I am the PP above who's DS just completed CogMed training.  We really liked our provider. Called Dr. Fleitas but by the time he called me back I had signed up with a different provider.

My DS has attention issues, exec functioning due to fairly signficant working memory deficits. He made big strides according to the test results and the psych we used.  starting to see some small changes but from what I understand it can be gradual. The psych we used did say that there are certain profiles that are best suited for CogMed and some that aren't. Our DS had the right fit, so we tried it.  And she was upfront with us in telling us that it is not for everyone and that it will not work for everyone.

I think what made me finally bite the bullet and sign DS up for the program is that Bill Stixrud is a huge believer in the program.  I think he's brilliant...so I went for it. figured if HE believes then so will I.
