Cognition Disorders
Brain Injury, Dementia, Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, or COVID-19
Challenges with cognition can impact your communication, eating, walking, and all aspects of your day-to-day life. Our therapists utilize everyday tasks so that you can succeed in your everyday life. Ask about our life participation approach today.
