CIRCuiTS is CE/UKCA marked, web-based computerised cognitive remediation therapy program. Supported by a therapist, it targets metacognition (particularly strategy use) in addition to providing massed practice of basic cognitive skills. Clients complete a journey of tasks using our Standard CIRCuiTS Journey, and afterwards our Advanced CIRCuiTS Journey if they wish. Journeys can be adapted to suit the needs of clients (e.g. to focus more on memory tasks). Clients develop a set of personalised strategies to improve their cognitive performance and achieve their goals. CIRCuiTS requires an internet connection, and can be used on a range of computers and tablets. It is available in 8 languages and growing, and is adaptable to fit with cultural norms. We offer licenses to use CIRCuiTS in clinical practice and in research studies. We also have a popular 11-module online training course in cognitive remediation therapy and CIRCuiTS delivery.
