Cogmed Plus Acceptance

and Commitment Therapy

(CogACT)

Dr Michelle Byrnes is a Qualified Cogmed Coach and offers Comprehensive Cognitive Retraining Programs as part of her Clinical Neurorehabilitation Practice.  These specialised Cognitive Rehabilitation Programs integrate Cognitive Retraining Programs including Cogmed with specialised psychological therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (i.e., CogACT). Cognitive Neurorehabilitation is a therapeutic strategy that seeks to improve or restore an individual’s skills in the areas of attention, concentration, memory, organisation, reasoning and understanding, problem solving, decision making and higher level cognitive capabilities.  These cognitive retraining strategies and interventions enhance and maximise Brain Neuroplasticity which which optimize brain performance and productivity. Cogmed-Plus Working Memory Training is an evidence based program which assists children, adolescents and adults improve and sustain their attention by training their working memory capacity.  Working memory is the ability to keep information in your mind, manipulate it, and use it within short periods of time and is central to attention, concentration and problem solving capabilities. Cogmed Working Memory Training program incorporates ten varied visuo- spatial and verbal working memory tasks. The difficulty level of each task is automatically adapted to each individual’s working memory capacity and the resultant working memory load is increased according to each individual’s performance levels.  Cogmed Website:  http://www.cogmed.com.au/ Dr Michelle Byrnes - Cogmed Coach: http://www.cogmed.com.au/find-a- coach/grow-your-life
