Cognitive Rehabilitation:

Cognitive rehabilitation is therapy designed to assist the “whole” individual. Therapy is multidisciplinary, focusing on helping the client develop compensatory as well as remedial, coping and problem-solving skills. Weaknesses can be remediated in multiple ways:

 qEEG &  Neruofeedback Training
qEEGs are contracted through CARE.  These profiles are the foundation of individualized protocols which allow for Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback Training is accomplished through Brainmaster®  software which behaviorally teaches brainwaves to function at optimal ranges or through ILF training which provides feedback for the brain, thus both improve brain functioning.  These treatments may decrease the need for medication and improve behavior, learning & mood.

Vision Processing & Rehab
Further screening can identify specific functional visual problems (eye teaming/tracking, convergence problems, visual analysis/information processing).  Rehabilitation for processing problems is available and includes a mix of retained reflex exercises, functional vision exercises, Handwriting Without Tears® & programs such as Lindamood Bell® Visualizing & Verbalizing® *.

Auditory, Phonological & Language Processing
Further screening in combination with a speech & language pathologist can assist with further definition of diagnoses & identifying research based programs which will best remediate a variety of auditory and language processing problems.  Programs include HearBuilder, Lindamood Bell® LiPs®* , Seeing Stars®*,  Wilson Reading System®, Wordly Wise®, Spell Links®, Reading for Speed & Content® & various others. CNC has a staff of 5 speech / language therapists & tutors that have extensive training in these programs.

Attention, Organization & Memory Skills
Strategies are employed to increase attention/concentration (through computer programs & exercises) and teach organizational skills (via behavioral technique & study skills training) to enhance memory. This is accomplished in an eclectic approach through several programs and resources.

Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy
Techniques are designed to reduce anxiety & increase problem-solving and coping skills.  Therapy may also provide the client and family with education regarding weaknesses and a safe forum for expressing feelings regarding the impact on daily living and family life.
