Cognitive rehabilitation

Cognitive rehabilitation is individualized support for cognitive functions that helps a person function better despite cognitive difficulties.

Definition

Cognitive rehabilitation is used, among others, after brain injuries, strokes or selected neurological diseases. It may include compensatory strategies, practicing functions, organizing the environment, and working on daily tasks. It is not a general self-development training for everyone, but a form of support usually conducted by specialists.

Practice and life

If cognitive difficulties affect your daily life, write down the specific situations in which they occur and discuss them with a specialist rather than choosing random exercises.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to treat cognitive rehabilitation as a universal "brain training" application. It is also a mistake to ignore the medical causes of cognitive difficulties.
