How is it done? For how long is it done?
The psychotherapist will make a comprehensive assessment of the impairment and select appropriate exercises using specific software. The exercises will start with simple ones and with the development of the brain, the difficulty and complexity of the exercises will be gradually increased. Initially Cognitive Rehabilitation is done both through manual exercises and a computerized program only in the clinic. In the second stage the patient in addition to the exercises in the clinic will do brain exercises at home. In the last stage, patient will be given exercises to perform in real life situations.
The number of sessions depends on the extent of damage to the brain. On average a patient may require minimum of seven sessions in a frequency of three times a week.
