Cognitive Development Learning Centre - Discussion

[gerberadaisy]

Hi pingathot


Oh, I assume both centres run similar programmes. Since you’ve gone for the assessment at both centres, do you mind to share what made you finally decide on Cognitive? How different are the two centres in their way of teaching?

My son has attended Bridge for two weeks for both the Auditory Processing Programme and the Individual Intervention programme. For the former, he does some computer exercises that train him in his auditory skills. This is useful for those with Sensory Intergration Disorder. For the latter, he does some neuro exercises to train him in his eye-hand coordination, and also some literacy training. He seems to enjoy the classes. Still monitoring his progress.

Hi gerberadaisy


My son has the test done when he was around 5 yrs old but I did not send him to the Bridge as at that time I would like to monitor him before I decide cos thinking he was too young when he took the test. Meanwhile, I did send him for CMA abacus till P3 and then I stopped his lesson. Too much homework plus the school and tuition. In the school, he has chess lessons too and also he has been playing golf since K2. All these more or less help him to focus and concentration. When I chanced upon Cognitive, which at that time just open, I sent my son for the test. That was last year P3. They tested on his standard whether he is up to par; ie reading and understanding, maths etc. Was told that he is about half year behind so I decided to sign up. They have auditory, also using computer, silent reading, peck talk (b4 lesson start, will sit in a big circle, write on a list what is their target and also see the coach praise them one by one for job well done last week etc). I think more or less is the same but I chose cognitive cos look very clean, well plan for classrooms and feedback. My son will brought back his work and result (reading skill and comprehend the story)they had a test after reading the story book. In terms of comfort, I will choose cognitive. That’s my point of view.

Wondering whether anybody has updated review on Cognitive Development Centre. Thanks for your feedback. Thinking of sending my daughter for review and classes.

Hi Gerberadaisy,


Can you please share your experience with Bridge Learning? I am contemplating sending my son there.

How is the progress for your son? Seen any improvement?
Appreciate it.


Many thanks. :please:

I sent my son for five months since Jan 2012 at Bridge Learning. He attended the auditory processing disorder classes twice a week and IEP classes teice a week, all four times in a week. However we are ending the sessions when term ends in May. I did not find the lessons useful and saw very little improvement in my son’s development. The teachers tend to be young with cursory training - unlike other trained speech and IEP Therapists. Having gone through both the conventional categorical and non conventional categorical method, I am definitely inclined towards the former. I would be interested in Cognitive provided it is very different from Bridge which was disappointing after the media hype.

Hi jimyee4,


I’ve similar experience with you at Bridge Learning. My son attended their auditory processing and IEP lessons. However, we withdrew him after 3 terms cause I don’t see much improvement in him. Am also contemplating to send him to Cognitive Development. Anyone has any feedback on Cognitive Development? Many thanks!

Dear mummies


anyone is with cognitive or recently signed up? would like to hear feedback
before deciding. location is far n timing limited so need to ensure it’s worth
the logistic hassle.

Thank u.
