Why Choose BrainHQ for Cognitive Training?

Why Choose BrainHQ for Cognitive Training?

For the last 4 years, I have been providing Cogmed Working Memory Training for my students with learning challenges.  Since ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism are all atypical neurological differences, creating new neural pathways for learning is a key strategy to their success.  These students and their parents noticed improvement with executive function tasks and academic learning, however, it was taking about 8 weeks of training to notice student improvement.

In September 2018, I was introduced to BrainHQ.  I was a bit skeptical at first, but the extensive research spoke for itself.  

I decided to give BrainHQ a try and within 6 sessions (less than 2 weeks of training) I saw improvement in my visual/ auditory processing, memory and and attention skills. 

My biggest “aha!” moment was when I got in my car and began listening to an old Journey song.  I can not tell you how many hundreds of times I had heard this song, however, on that morning I could detect the words to a phrase I had always mumbled. (You know, the times when you like the song...but just can’t quite understand a phrase or two?)   I was convinced BrainHQ offered cognitive training that was changing my life and the lives of my clients.

Here is a quote from a mom of a 17-year-old student with profound Dyslexia.  

“Hi! Just had to tell you this: Mason took it upon himself to clean his room this week. Yes, he HAS cleaned his room before, but his idea is stuffing everything (trash & all) into his closet or drawers. A thorough cleaning only ever happens upon our insistence and usually he needs our help. AND he’s always grumpy about it. Not this time! He did an excellent job really going through things and deciding for himself what needed to be kept & what needed to be thrown or given away! Jeremy & I both feel it’s the BrainHQ!!!! Yes, we are thrilled!!”  Melody M.

Form my adult BrainHQ trainees, I am constantly being told, “I can remember more, my processing speed is faster - I can tell this training is really working!”

It is heart-warming to listen to the various comments from adults regarding the changes they are experiencing! It is exciting to be able to offer a way to improve their cognitive function.

The process of getting started with the BrainHQ training is a simple one.   A BrainGQ account is purchased under my business name “Skills for Success Learning”. This enables me to see how a student or an adult is progressing with training and understand what is working and not working.  Various adjustments can made to insure the program will fit the needs of each trainee.   

The trainee receives least 6 or more coaching sessions with a certified trainer to introduce the BrainHQ program. Each session will focus on how the program works, tricks for gaining the most out of the training and any adjustments that need to be make.  The BrainHQ account will be activated for a year and during that time, a trainee will have access to a private Facebook BrainHQ group.  Using the Facebook group, will allow interaction with other BrainHQ members, provide the ability to share stories and get questions answered.

Using BrainHQ is a wonderful way to improve Attention, Memory and Processing skills for students and adults!
