Cognitive Training Program
Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding about the world around you.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Cognitive processes are housed in the brain and when an injury occurs to the brain, whether from a stroke or a brain injury, it affects the ability to think and effectively process the world around us.
Cognitive training is an important part of therapeutic recovery which aims to treat the specific cognitive deficits that people experience after a neurological incident.
This training is provided to both facilitate restoration of the cognitive deficit as well as train the patient on the use of compensatory strategies to increase success in the home and the community.
What disorders affect cognitive ability?
Cognitive ability can be affected by a wide range of disorders and disabilities including but not limited to:
- Stroke
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Dementia
