Stories of Gratitude

  • “Coach Jen connected deeply with our son and was able to accurately assess his needs. She helped us implement and reinforce many different strategies to help him with attention at home and school. Her passion and knowledge were invaluable to us during a very difficult school year.”

    Parent of an 8 year-old client

  • “I no longer hate math. I can track the steps in my head more easily, and I am not afraid to share my thinking in class.”

    16 year-old client

  • “Jen helped my daughter when she got frustrated with the program. She gave us strategies to help her push through challenges. This has directly impacted our daughter’s work on reading and writing assignments at school. She has become more resilient and has the stamina to get through tasks that are cognitively demanding.”

    Parent of a 9 year-old client

  • “Cogmed and Coach Jen helped me discover that I am very good at recognizing patterns that others don’t see. This has made me a better mathematician.”

    11 year-old client

  • “This program helped me learn new things about my brain. As it turns out, my brain is pretty awesome.”

    7 year-old client

  • “Since completing the program, our daughter has shown an increase in initiative. She has been managing her morning routines without constant reminders. She even took the lead in applying for a summer job!”

    Parent of 15 year-old client

  • “My son is curious, creative, and loves to learn. He also struggles to complete tasks that aren't aligned with his interests or gets frustrated when something feels too hard. Cogmed provided him with the opportunity to practice sticking with something tricky. Over time, he began to understand that the program adapted to his abilities, so it was meant to be hard and he was meant to have some errors. That understanding freed him up to engage with the process without anxiety. As a result, he started approaching Cogmed with a positive attitude and a willingness to be persistent. We have seen the transfer to other tasks as well - he is much more willing to complete schoolwork that isn't his favorite, such as writing, and is proud of his accomplishments.”

    Parent of an 8 year-old client

  • “Cogmed helped me become a better basketball player. I feel like I can make more accurate decisions about whether I should pass, shoot, or dribble. My brain feels different -- like it is working faster.”

    11 year-old client

  • “Our son’s reading fluency scores took off after completing the program. It changed his outlook on the type of student and thinker he is.”

    Parent of a 10 year-old client

  • "Our son is maintaining his attention through homework in the evenings. This was previously such a battle. Cogmed plus Coach Jen's problem-solving strategies have made all the difference."

    13 year-old client

  • "I now have strategies to help me remember to bring all my things to and from school without my parents and teachers reminding me."

    12 year-old client

What is Working Memory?

Working Memory is the cognitive ability to remember information and to incorporate this information into completing complex tasks. It is the bedrock of all executive functions because of how it influences the others. It is a key component to successful learning and helps us remember what to focus on to solve problems. Individuals with learning differences such as dyslexia and ADHD often have working memory deficits that can impede progress toward reaching academic and social-emotional growth. We rely on working memory for a variety of tasks:

Remembering instructions

Mental math problems and reading comprehension

Multi-step problem solving and sequencing tasks

Sustaining focus and structuring daily life

Given the neuroplasticity of the brain, working memory can be improved. Cogmed Working Memory Training and Executive Function Coaching are research-based tools that can help achieve this growth.

Hello! I’m Jen.

Founder of Lotus Cognitive Solutions Group and Executive Function Coach.

I am a licensed teacher and hold a BA in Psychology and an MA in Special Education with an emphasis in Gifted and Talented Education. My passion and expertise is in designing academic and social-emotional supports for children who think and learn differently.

I have held a variety of roles in the education field such as a Classroom Teacher, Gifted and Talented Specialist, and Academic Language Therapist providing specialized instruction to dyslexic learners. Coaching children with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences that are marked by working memory deficits are at the center of my mission.

Here at Lotus our intention is never to “fix” a child, but to provide practical solutions to help him or her achieve meaningful goals. Our coaching sessions are firmly grounded in a child’s strengths and work to cultivate motivation. The brain is remarkably ripe with possibilities and given the right tools and encouragement, every child is poised for growth. I would love the opportunity to help your child actualize this.
