This is PP who did CogMed with the other provider. Do you know what he is charging for the program? I can tell you how it compares to what we paid - if you're at all interested.

The price for the full program and supervision was $1500 but there was a 10% discount offered for workshop attendees that purchased within a week of the workshop. I could not attend that week but it is being offered again this weekend. This reminded me to call up about it. There is a description of the workshop on Craigslist right now at:

How much did you pay and has it been worth it?

This story isn't about Cog Excel per se but it talks about the whole concept of being able to train your brain through online games.

Worth a read if you're considering these types of services.
