Features of the entire program

The Learnigo EDU & OT: Focus & Memory program is a set of interactive exercises to stimulate cognitive functions, as well as improve perception, memory, and attention. Based on the content and the application of special graphic and functional solutions, the program is perfectly suited to work with children with sensory disintegration, dyslexia (or those who are at risk for dyslexia), attention deficit and/or hyperactivity, and hand-eye coordination. The program can be used during correction and compensation work, teaching and remedial classes, as well as in other activities intended to foster and improve cognitive and perceptive functions, memory, and attention.

The purpose of the exercises is to work on: memory (working, operational, visual, auditory), attention (the ability to focus on several stimuli, selectivity, persistence), as well as other areas of executive functioning and elements of relaxation. Studies have shown that, by targeting these areas, positive transfer of skills may be observed. Visual working memory skills, for example, have been linked with academic and cognitive performance*; a deficit in these skills has been observed in learning disabilities and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD).**

The program can be used in 1:1 and group sessions, as a stand-alone practice, or as supplemental practice with other activities.

What the Learnigo EDU & OT: Focus & Memory program consists of:

• Nearly 500 interactive screens (games, puzzles, selecting, etc.)

• Online access to content to use at any place at any time (e.g., school, home, therapy office, on-the-go-, etc.)

• Multiple opportunities to practice

• Printable worksheets for additional practice

• Customizable practice, including options for hints, fewer options to minimize distractions, and a progress panel

• Easy descriptions including written and recorded instructions

• Data on progress

Engaging and Successful Learning

The program is based on interactive exercises, colorful illustrations, and age-appropriate instructions. The material is divided into two difficulty levels – separate exercises for younger children and for older children/teenagers.
