I have two children in my class who've been assessed as having incredibly poor working memory. I asked the person who did the assessments how I could help in class and she wasn't overly sure so I asked if she knew of any computer-based activities that might help (I was thinking of games that require information to get onto the next level etc.). She mentioned something called 'Jungle Memory' so I have now looked that up.
It looks good and the results are promising but it's incredibly expensive for a single child's 8 week programme (and I reckon I have another 6 children in my class who would benefit from something like it). I was wondering if any of you have had any experience of it - positive or negative? I'm more than happy to demand money/resources if I believe they might make a difference to a child's progress but I would like something other than the company's propaganda to point to as evidence!
