Cognitive Retraining For Acquired Brain Injuries
A Talented Mind’s Cognitive Lifestyle Program helps families enhance the quality of life, learning, and performance of family members impacted by an acquired brain injury, aging, or illness.
The program provides personalized cognitive retraining to strengthen the mental abilities of family members to better perform in areas important to their life. We work collaboratively with clients, families, caregivers, health care professionals, and educators to create a specialized program to retrain clients’ mental processes to improve their every-day lives. Because an acquired brain injury impacts the entire family, we also help families explore ways to support the needs of all members as they forge a new life together following a brain injury.
Family Support
We provide programs to help families better address everyone’s needs after an acquired brain injury in order to create a supportive environment:
Analysis of Cognitive Environment: Assessment and recommendations to improve a client’s home environment so it best supports cognitive abilities.
Brain Injury Family Intervention: Program that helps families address the emotional needs of all members as they adjust to life after a brain injury.
Cognitive Retraining Family Intervention: Program that teaches families to use basic cognitive retraining methods, strategies, and tools at home to support someone with a brain injury.
