Mastering Memory

Mastering Memory is a tool you can use to help improve the understanding and strategies of both Short-Term Memory and Transfer to Long-Term Memory. Both auditory and visual sequential memory are addressed and both are needed for many learning skills.

Mastering Memory was designed by Jane E. Mitchell, who trained as a Speech and Language Therapist and dyslexia teacher (RSA diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties). Her wide experience includes work at Westminster Children's hospital, a residential school for autistic children, and Fairley House School for dyslexic children. She has been a tutor for the RSA diploma and lectured for many years on memory, thinking and study skills at UCL and I CAN, where she was known for her useful practical approach.

The program was originally developed as a computerised version of the therapy tool Memory Bricks, which dates back to 1984. It was nominated for a BETT Special Needs award in 2002, is recommended by the BDA Computer Committee, used by many people at Dyslexia Action and at numerous schools and Speech and Language units.
