Thinking skills or our ‘cognitive processing’ can be impacted by numerous conditions including acquired brain injuries, degenerative conditions or changes that may occur with aging. Occupational Therapists specialise in understanding cognitive skills in everyday life or activities. At Neurogenesis we are skilled in cognitive rehabilitation and can find the right strategies to help you improve your thinking skills, independence and safety.
Occupational Therapy assessment of cognitive skills may include paper based screening assessments, observations of how you manage usual tasks. We work with medical specialists to understand what other factors may be contributing to changes in thinking for a holistic approach to your care plan.
Interventions to assist with changes in thinking skills are specific to each person’s situation and needs. Together we identify the challenges you may be having and create a therapy plan with solutions and strategies to overcome these challenges. This may include learning more about your condition, practicing skills or changing how you do certain tasks to make it easier for you.
