COGx Information Webinar
Summer Certification Training for Individualized Enhancement Programs
May 18th, 2022 | 9:00 am EDT
About:
- From childhood through adulthood, every learner is unique — our cognitive strengths and weaknesses make up a unique cognitive profile that impacts the way we learn. The good news is that cognition is malleable. COGx provides individualized solutions for learners that want to take their cognitive skills to the next level and develop their abilities for lifelong, sophisticated learning.
- COGx designs personalized, one-to-one cognitive training and learning support based on an individual’s unique cognitive profile.
- COGx will train and certify a team of individuals at partner organizations (e.g., schools, learning centers, tutors, independent practitioners and more) to implement the COGx methodology in training individuals to become sophisticated learners.
Attend this webinar to learn more about how you can incorporate COGx Cognitive Training Services into your organization and become a COGx Partner Organization.
- You will have ample opportunity to ask questions about COGx methodology, training logistics, and benefits.
- We will be joined by a previous client whose family has experienced multiple successful programs.
