Brain Training
What is Brain Training?
“Cognitive Training (Brain Training) consists of a variety of computer exercises designed to improve functioning in areas such as impulsivity, listening, inattentiveness, restlessness, concentration, inhibition, memory, executive functioning, reasoning, motor skills and reading – areas in which ADD/ADHD individuals often experience difficulties. If an individual is having attentional or learning problems, tutoring or drill and practice in academic areas are often not effective. The principle underlying cognitive training is to help improve the “core” abilities and self-control necessary before an individual can function successfully academically. The exercises “drill for skill” directly in the areas where basic specific cognitive difficulties occur.” – Joseph A. Sandford, Ph. D., Founder-BrainTrain and ADD Treatment Center, Richmond, VA
