Cognitive problems are specific deficits that typically occur following a brain injury. Some of the most common cognitive problems we work with are:

• Arousal or over-stimulation
• Insight and judgement
• Attention and filtering issues
• Information coding and retrieval (memory) issues
• Learning, both using old information and acquiring new information
• Problem solving
• Higher-level thinking skills also known as “executive skills”(initiation, planning, follow-through)

Some cognitive problems resolve themselves over time and through our rehabilitation process and others may persist and require specific rehabilitation interventions.
