To those who have not seen me for a while or who worked with me previously I have shifted my role substantially but happily I will continue to do Cogmed and I have 3 coaches who work with me and do Cogmed coaching through my practice.  . For those who still would like to work directly with me doing Cogmed I can still do that with a lmited number of cases, but I can also offer you Cogmed with one of my coaches whom I directly supervise.

I was hired by an international company, Pearson Corporation, to help them get Cogmed Working Memory Training in schools, hospitals and large scale psychologist and physician practices. I have discussed this with Pearson and as noted above, I can still work with a limited number of Cogmed coaching clients directly myself, but I now have the coaching capacity to accomodate a large number people who want to do Cogmed with my practice with my new coaches. They are excited to get started.

Pearson Corporation is a multi-national company which provides psychological and educational assessment products throughout the world. Pearson bought out Cogmed America.  I will be the central or midwestern United States Cogmed Consultant for Pearson starting Monday Jan. 10, 2011.

You may have seen my story through my videos, at the youtube channel fitfamilies online or "ADHD Doctor DAD". Possibly you have read my blog articles at one of my blogs: http://www.adhddoctordad.com and http://www.charlesshinaver.com.  Soon I will be reviving two of my blogs.  I can still play a role in helping you help those you care about.

If you are interested in getting me to speak to your school, school board, meet with you educators, policy makers, hospital staff, or health care providers. Call 317-641-7794.

I am in the unique position of being a clinical child psychologist, educated at Harvard, DePaul and Notre Dame and the father of a son with ADHD.  I spent over 7 years searching and trying almost everything you can imagine to help my son. I found Cogmed Working Memory Training at the last minute, as my son was entering 9th grade.

His results have been inspiring.  He has achieved the best grades of his life since doing the program. He taught himself Farsi.  We received an unsolicited email from his guitar instructor telling us he covered 1.5 to 2 years of guitar lessons in 6 months.  His social life exploded, so much so that we had to shut down our "taxi-cab" service on occasion to keep our own sanity.

Sometimes people would ask me:  "If it was your son, what would you do doc?"  Well, it has become a very simple answer.  "I would have him do Cogmed.  That is what I did."

Consider that I tried behavior management, EEG biofeedback and medications for my son.  I have seen scores of parents and children go through many of the same struggles.  I consider Cogmed Working Memory Training to be the best researched (with the best designed-research), the most user-friendly program with the clearest protocol with the best results.

My clients have had impressive results as well.  Now, I can come speak to your faculty, administrators, policy-makers, health care providers and facilitate the process of getting Cogmed Working Memory Training in your school, hospital, clinic, university, college, or practice.  Pearson will send me all over the central and midwestern United States as well as the western United States on a case by case basis to help launch this program into schools, universities, clinics, hospitals and clinical practices.

This is a program that should be in your school, partial hospitalization program, hospital, clinic, college, university or practice. I can come and speak to you and your staff to help you understand exactly why this program should be available to you and those you care about.
