Did you know that with NeuronUP, in addition to working individually, you can run group sessions? Some centers, especially associations, work with groups where users solve the various activities together. And there is no doubt that working in a group has many advantages.
Benefits of running group sessions
We highlight the three main ones:
- It greatly increases motivation.
- Users learn from each other to perform the task.
- It works on social skills (respecting turn-taking, listening, helping if necessary…).
NeuronUP offers both paper activities for group work and digital activities suitable for group use. We show you some exercises and explain how to work them in a group.

NeuronUP digital activities to use in group sessions
As we explainí above, some NeuronUP digital activities can also be workí on in groups.
But how? It’s very easy! We’ll explain it:
1. To be able to run sessions for group intervention, ideally create a group user first. In the notes we can write the names of the members and upload a photo of the group to its profile or an image that identifies them.
2. When creating the session we can label it with the group’s name or with the names of the members of that group to be able to identify it quickly.
In this case it may be of interest to set “no” in the option “user assessment” to focus exclusively on the exercises and set “yes” in “confirm end of activity” and “yes” in “continue button” to be able to control the pace of the session.
