The purpose of cognitive remediation is to improve the underlying intellectual skills which allow us to succeed academically, socially, and vocationally. Cognitive training utilizes a variety of exercises that are specifically designed to improve a variety of skills including the following:

• Attention/Concentration
• Memory
• Planning
• Organization
• Mental Flexibility
• Sequencing
• Problem Solving
• Managing Multiple
• Tasks

Often individuals with ADHD, Learning Disability, Traumatic Brain Injury or other neurological disorders experience failure because of a weakness in an area of cognitive functioning which is needed to complete a task successfully. Cognitive remediation will strengthen these skills through a variety of tasks which gradually increase in complexity and difficulty as the particular cognitive ability improves. Cognitive training also generally leads to an improvement in self-esteem as the student builds upon his successes with frequent, individualized, positive feedback from our therapist and related success in school and elsewhere.
