Cognitive Rehabilitation Calgary
What is Cognitive Rehabilitation?
Cognitive rehabilitation is a therapy focused on improving cognitive functions impaired by injury, illness, or neurological conditions. It involves targeted interventions and exercises to enhance memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning, aiming to restore independence in daily life.
If you or a loved one has had a concussion, brain injury or stroke, and are having difficulty resuming day-to-day tasks, an occupational therapist can help by providing cognitive exercises and compensatory strategies that will make those tasks more achievable.
The ultimate goal of cognitive rehabilitation is to help individuals maximize their cognitive skills and regain independence in daily activities and social interactions.
