Watching your child struggle to focus, remember things, or keep up at school after a concussion or brain injury is hard. You see them trying, and still falling behind, and it's natural to feel scared, frustrated, or unsure what to do next.

​

Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy gives your child the tools to rebuild how they think, learn, and remember after a concussion or traumatic brain injury. We work alongside your family with patience and care, so you have real support at every step of recovery, not just answers in a single appointment.

​

We look at six areas of thinking: attention, memory, executive functioning, social cognition, visual perception, and language.

​

You might recognize some of these in your child: ​

​

Attention:

• Takes longer than usual to process what's happening around them

• Has a hard time staying focused on one task

• Gets thrown off easily by noise, people, or other distractions

​

Memory:

• Forgets things you just told them

• Struggles to hold on to new information

• Seems confused about the day, time, or where they are

​

Executive functioning: 

• Has trouble starting homework or a chore without a push

• Makes decisions that seem unsafe or out of character

• Gets stuck when a task needs more than one step

​

Social Cognition:

• Doesn't seem to notice when something's off, or has trouble seeing things from others' point of view

• Has big emotional reactions that feel hard to manage

• Misses social cues they used to pick up on easily

​

Visual perception:

• Seems to miss things on one side, like bumping into doorways

• Has new trouble judging distance or space

​

Language: 

• Searches for words mid-sentence

• Gets overwhelmed by long or complicated instructions

​

If even a few of these sound familiar, this kind of support could help.

What we do

​

Cognitive SLP works with students and families recovering from concussions, post-concussive syndrome, and traumatic brain injuries. Every plan is built around your child, not a one-size-fits-all program.

​

Sessions happen online, and include:

• Helping you and your child understand what's going on, and why it shows up the way it does day to day

• Rebuilding specific thinking skills through targeted practice

• Teaching strategies that work around current challenges while skills are still recovering

• Setting goals together with you and your child, not handed down from above

• Checking progress regularly, so you always know where things stand

• Support for you as a parent, not just your child

​

We focus on what matters most to your family, whether that's getting through homework without a meltdown, feeling safe again at home, or your child being able to go back to school and everyday life with confidence.This includes help getting back to school.
