Cognition includes attention, memory, judgment, organization, reasoning, and problem solving.
Problems in any of these areas can be a result of stroke, traumatic brain injury, concussion, brain tumors and cancer treatment, seizures, and progressive neurological disorders (Parkinson's disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and others).
Deficits in cognition can affect an individual's ability to complete their daily tasks, go to school or work, or participate in leisure activities.
Through training compensatory strategies, developing systems to support function, and retraining the brain, online speech therapy can help improve many aspects of cognition and increase participation in activities that are important to each individual.
