Cognitive Remediation Therapy

Have you noticed changes to your memory or cognition that are impacting your day-to-day life post injury or COVID-19? Cognitive therapy can help you compensate for and improve these abilities!
There are 6 domains of cognitive functioning (executive functioning, memory, social cognition, attention, language, visuospatial skills). Any or all of them can be impaired due to a brain injury, stroke, concussion, COVID-19 or dementia.
If you or your loved one are experiencing any difficulties in the areas of executive functioning, memory, social-cognition, attention, language, or visuospatial skills, a cognitive-communication evaluation is recommended. In-home services are recommended for select diagnoses. A Cognitive-Communication Evaluation identifies strengths and weakness in the cognitive areas (i.e. memory, attention, processing speed, comprehension, word-finding).
