Cognition encompasses our decision making skills, medication management skills, remembering if the bills are paid, and much more. Deficits in this area will present themselves in your daily lives. Providing therapy to implement functional strategies will play a critical part in your recovery process and increasing overall quality of life.
Cognitive impairments in adults are typically related to stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer's disease, neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis, chemo or radiation, dementia, non-traumatic injury including encephalopathy and brain tumor resection.

​Treatment plans for cognitive-communication disorders are created based on the severity of the impairment and individual client and family needs.

We may provide strategies to help the client compensate for cognitive problems and educate caregivers in techniques to improve the client's functioning.
