Why Robateau & Associates?

  • At Robateau & Associates, we use evidence-based brain training programs to help children, adolescences and adults improve memory, attention/focus, and processing speed by training their “working memory.”
  • At RA we treat students struggling with reading and math difficulties, ADD/ADHD, and speech-language disorders. We also work with “gifted” students, ensuring they continue to excel and provide science-based test-preparation for selective school placements.
  • Our adult clients include those who want to gain a competitive edge at work or stay sharp and mentally stimulated as they age. We also serve adults with ADD/ADHD, mild dementia, or issues following a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
  • We provide preventative treatments to those who want to decrease the effects of statins or other drug therapies, with side effects such as memory loss and swallowing difficulties. We provide baseline testing, prevention education and treatment for athletes (whether Little League or Major League) who are concerned about sports related injuries (concussion) and its affect on the brain.
  • Treatment programs are custom-created to meet your needs. We offer treatment options at our office or at your home or office, using computerized online evidence-based programs.
