Cognitive Services
| Program/Service description | Cognitive Services assist in the diagnosis and treatment of certain problems that can result from brain injury. Such problems may include difficulties with cognition (thinking) and behavior. Cognitive services include: 1) an assessment to find out a person's needs; and 2) behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy can take many forms, but usually involves counseling or therapy for an individual with brain injury and his/her family. Typically, cognitive services take place in a professional office setting. |
