Rise Cognitive Training.

Three Personalized Pathways — Read Forward, Focus Forward, and Excel Forward — Clinically Validated Cognitive Training for Children, Teens, and Adults.

Most children, teens, and adults with cognitive challenges aren't struggling because they aren't trying hard enough. They are struggling because they haven't had access to the right tools. That's exactly what Rise Cognitive Training was built to change — combining clinically validated platforms with fully personalized programs and expert guidance to create real, lasting results.

What We Use — And Why It Works.

Three proven platforms — real, lasting results for every learner.

Anyone can offer tutoring or generic support. What sets Rise Cognitive Training apart is the science behind our programs. Every pathway is powered by a clinically validated cognitive training platform — chosen specifically for its evidence base, proven results, and ability to deliver fully personalized training.

Play Attention. Developed from NASA technology, Play Attention uses neurofeedback to strengthen attention, focus, and executive functioning in children, teens, and adults. Through targeted cognitive exercises, learners of all ages develop the ability to recognize and regulate their attention in real time — building lasting self-regulation skills that make a difference in school, work, and everyday life.

Neuralign is a research-based reading and learning platform rooted in neuroscience and years of field testing. Originally developed to address dyslexia and reading difficulties, it works by strengthening the brain pathways responsible for fluent reading and efficient learning — making it beneficial for a wide range of learners (ages 6-18), not just those with diagnosed reading challenges.

Cogmed. A research-based cognitive training program used with children, teens, and adults around the world. Developed by neuroscientists and backed by peer-reviewed research, Cogmed has helped thousands of learners build stronger working memory and attention skills. By strengthening these core cognitive abilities, Cogmed helps learners of all ages think more clearly, focus more effectively, and perform at their best — in school, in college, and in daily life.

Three Pathways. One Goal: Rise.

Explore the sections below to understand who each program supports, what we strengthen, and how each plan is tailored for real-life growth.

Read Forward

  • The Read Forward pathway is designed for children and teens ages 6–18 who are struggling with reading fluency, decoding, comprehension, or dyslexia. A formal diagnosis is not required — if reading is a challenge, this pathway was built for your child.

  • Cognitive performance is built on multiple systems working together — and when reading breaks down, it rarely starts with just one. The Read Forward pathway targets the specific areas where your child or teen needs the most support, including:

    • Reading fluency and decoding skills — strengthening the ability to recognize, sound out, and read words accurately and efficiently

    • Processing speed and efficiency — helping the brain absorb and interpret written information faster and more effectively

    • Emotional regulation during learning — building the self-regulation skills that help children and teens stay calm, focused, and confident when reading feels hard

  • From the very first session to the last, every step of the Read Forward program is built around your child — their specific reading challenges, their goals, and their progress. Here is what every participant receives:

    • A thorough initial consultation and goal-setting conversation with parent or guardian

    • An individualized pathway assessment

    • A fully personalized, evidence-based cognitive reading program — completed virtually from the comfort of your own home

    • Virtual progress monitoring at regular intervals — because you deserve to see the growth happening in real time

    • Consistent parent collaboration and transparent check-ins throughout the entire program

    Please note: Read Forward is not tutoring. We use a clinically validated cognitive reading program that targets the underlying brain skills behind reading — delivering results that go far beyond what traditional tutoring can achieve.
