Short attention, built up through play
Computerized cognitive therapy built for children by a leading pediatric rehabilitation research team, training attention and working memory through play.
Signs worth a visit
언어치료 중 발달 정체기를 겪는 아이
If speech therapy stalls, we look at attention, memory and processing to find what is holding things up.
만 3세 이상 언어가 지연된 아이
For children 3+ who imitate words but are slow to build sentences or grasp cause-and-effect.
감각·지각 통합이 지연된 아이
We choose activities for children who struggle with visual and auditory processing or hand-eye coordination.
입학을 앞두고 단체생활 적응이 필요한 아이
For children needing group-life skills like sitting still and following instructions before school; we raise readiness.
Skills we train with COGITO
Children train step by step through play-like content.
Working memory and executive function
These are the strengths children need most when language development stalls. We train working memory, visual perception, attention and flexibility step by step.
Visual perception and eye-hand coordination
Children practice seeing with their eyes and acting with their hands through fun content, including the visual-motor coordination behind difficulty with handwriting.
Changes shown as data
Your child’s performance builds up as data, so you can see the changes for yourself.
Together with speech therapy
Repeating words alone makes it hard for a late-talking child to use language across situations. Learning concepts such as big and small, up and down, inside and outside alongside it builds understanding, which then turns into natural expression.
One-on-one or in a group
We work one-on-one or in a group depending on your child. Group therapy starts after one-on-one sessions.
A program built for children from the start
Most computerized cognitive programs are adult brain-injury software reskinned for children. Cogito was built from the ground up for a cognitive age of 18 to 41 months by Professor Emeritus Sung In-young's team at Asan Medical Center, and a therapist runs each 20-minute session one-to-one.
What a Cogito session looks like
Seven areas trained through ten-level games; a randomized trial of its predecessor showed gains on the Bayley mental scale. Images courtesy of Cogito Sum.
프로그램 메인 화면
Nine staged games and three free-choice games with nine animal friends.
단계별 게임 화면
Ten difficulty levels, ten items per level in a new order every time.
결과 보고서
Accuracy and response time by date and program, with a six-area comparison.
How cognitive therapy goes
1. Finding cognitive strengths and gaps
We look closely at cognition, attention, memory, reasoning and problem solving to find strengths and potential.
2. Occupational-Cognitive 1:1 Therapy
Puzzles, games and worksheets stimulate cognition and build fine-motor, visual perception, focus and memory.
3. Computerized Cognitive Therapy (COGITO) in Parallel
The game-style COGITO program aids brain and cognition, run 1:1 or in groups.
Before therapy
Group therapy begins after one-on-one therapy. We first learn your child's temperament and development in one-on-one sessions, then match them with peers. Please continue the activities you learn at home.

Cognitive therapy FAQ
Why combine it with speech therapy?
Combined therapy is discussed when assessment identifies needs in both language and cognition. Cognitive therapy is not required for every language delay; the plan follows findings and response.
How does group therapy work?
It is the stage that connects the foundation built in 1:1 therapy to real social skills. Amid peer stimuli, children train group instruction-following and turn-taking pragmatics, matched with peers by developmental age and sensory profile for synergy. The goal is generalization, carrying clinic gains into kindergarten and school on their own.
What is COGITO?
COGITO is a computer-based cognitive therapy program with game-like tasks. Use is decided from the child’s cognitive level and performance, alongside individual or group therapy when appropriate.
