Cognitive Services
| Program/Service description | Cognitive Services provide supports for individuals who exhibit cognitive (thinking) deficits or behavioral difficulties, such as those that are exhibited as a result of a brain injury. 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 and his/her family. Typically, cognitive services take place in a professional office setting. |
