Cognitive Rehabilitation

What is cognitive rehabilitation?

It's a type of therapy that helps people improve—or find ways to work around—problems with thinking skills, like memory, attention, or problem-solving.

Who is this therapy for?

It's often used by people recovering from a brain injury or stroke, or those dealing with conditions like ADHD, where certain thinking skills have been affected.

What happens in a session?

Sessions typically involve exercises and strategies designed to strengthen weaker skills or teach new ways to manage tasks that have become harder—like remembering appointments or staying focused.

How is it different from a neuropsychological evalutation?

Evaluations are used to figure out what's going on and how it's affecting you. Cognitive rehabilitation is the therapy that comes after—it's focused on helping you improve or adapt, not just diagnosing the problem.

What is the goal?

The main goal is to help you function more easily in everyday life—whether that means getting back to work, managing your household, or simply feeling more confident in your day-to-day activities.

How long does cognitive rehabilitation take?

It varies from person to person, depending on the cause and severity of the difficulties, as well as individual progress over time.
