The Freeze-Framer stress management system is used in regular classes, in special education, and by school counselors. Often a school counselor or administrator buys an office copy to use with the students who show performance blocks due to anxiety or other behavioral problems. Freeze-Framer supports multiple log-ins, so the same program can be used by many children, each of whom can track his/her own history and progress. We recommend that teachers and administrators use the program first, to learn how it works and see the benefits directly, then consider it for wider school adoption.

Basketball coaches for college, high school and youth leagues may be interested in The IntelliGym Team Edition to help all their team members individually train their “instincts” such as reaction time, peripheral vision, real-time decision-making, and core cognitive basketball game skills. They will be able to improve team results, like a dozen college teams did last season.

The Cogmed Working Memory Training is a powerful and intensive program for children with ADD/ADHD. It requires adult supervision five days a week over five weeks as the child works through a training program of increasing difficulty. At this point, this program is only offered through authorized clinical providers—we can let you know who is in your area.
