Cognitive Remediation?

What Is

Cognitive Remediation 

Retrain neural pathways. Strengthen cognitive abilities. Improve daily function.

Cognitive Remediation is a treatment that focuses on retraining your brain’s neural pathways to improve abilities such as attention, memory, and problem-solving. It is based on neuroscientific findings about how the brain processes information and is specifically designed to enhance neural connections to improve cognition. 

Working

How Cognitive Remediation Works:

A Brain Gym for Cognitive Skills

Your brain is just like any other muscle in your body and if you do not exercise it then it will start to weaken.

 

In cognitive remediation we want to exercise your brain by practicing a variety of cognitive training tasks that are specially designed to exercise different cognitive abilities.

2. Tailored approach

Treatment is specifically tailored to help you achieve those goals

3. Computerized cognitive training

You will have access to computerized excersises designed to train the brain

4. Brain Gym

Your brain is like a muscle- it benefits from regular excersise. The training tasks exercise different cognitive abilities

5. Develop strategies

Cognitive remediation also helps you develop new cognitive strategies for doing these tasks and using them in everyday life

6. Practice between sessions

Cognitive exercise is best done several times per week, and computerized exercises are available between therapy sessions to continue the workout

Why it Matters

Cognitive impairments often do not respond to other forms of treatment and can cause significant issues with your ability to perform everyday activities.

Cognitive remediation can provide an opportunity to regain these abilities
