Structured mental
exercises are a
routine part of
rehabilitation and
cognitive
development for
those who have
experienced mild or
severe brain damage,
developmental
delays, short-term
memory loss from
strokes, brain
surgeries, or other
brain based
anomalies. These
cognitive exercises
work by challenging
the brain,
stimulating the
development of new
connections that
begins the rewiring
process and forming
new neuropathways
that bridge over the
damaged or
underdeveloped part
of the brain. When
someone is
discharged from
rehabilitation
hospitals as an
outpatient,
continuing with
these exercises is
often difficult or
impossible. The
regular trips
required to go back
to the rehab center
are at the least
very time consuming
and often very
difficult. Even
though continued
cognitive
improvement is
possible, it does
not always happen.
Now, through an
innovative
breakthrough by
Cognitive Systems,
cognitively impaired
individuals can
continue their
rehabilitation and
development in the
comfort and safety
of their own homes
through the
Internet.
Cognitive Systems
will
install a dedicated
Internet ready
computer to your
home. You may use it
as often as you like
to do computer
assisted cognitive
exercises. After
placing the system
in your home and
showing you how to
use it,
Cognitive Systems
will
link you to a
specially trained
Cognitive Rehab
Therapist (CRT)
through a secure
Internet site. The
therapist will guide
you through the
training and modify
the exercises as
your training
progresses.
More than 140
persons across the
United States with
cognitive deficits
from strokes, auto
accidents, sports
injuries, surgeries,
chemotherapy and/or
from learning
disabilities have
significantly
improved their
cognitive abilities
through the
Cognitive Systems-Teletherapy
System. CompSource
of OK (Workers
Compensation), OK
Department of
Rehabilitation
Services (DRS) and
Oklahoma City Public
Schools recognize
Cognitive Systems
as an authorized
service provider.
