Cognitive Rehabilitation gives your child the tools to rebuild how they think, learn, and remember after a concussion or traumatic brain injury.

Get support at every step of recovery and help your child get back to their regular routine. I work alongside your family with patience and care so you have support beyond a single appointment. 

​

 

 

 

Watching your child struggle to focus, remember things, or keep up at school after a concussion or brain injury is hard. 

 

They might be  having a tough time learning new material, concentrating, and finding the right words. School work starts to pile up and your child is increasingly sad to miss some of the activities they really love to do.

 

You see them trying, and falling behind, and it's natural to feel frustrated or unsure what to do next. Maybe you've already tried rest, tutoring, or extra time on tests, and it hasn't been enough.

​

Then you start asking if you’re doing enough. 

 

The truth is, most of the time you get so much information at your initial appointment you feel stuck knowing where to start. 

 

Should I be doing more? 

Are we holding them back? 

Are we moving too fast? 

 

These questions are totally normal and often don’t get answered in that first appointment.

​

​​

Building the tools to rebuild how they think, learn, and remember after a concussion or traumatic brain injury takes more than just one appointment.

​​​​

When you have a professional walking alongside you through the process - your child can have the most relevant, personalized support to recover in a way that makes sense for your family.

​

      → No more feeling overwhelmed or getting stuck Googling what to do. Get answers from a licensed

           clinician straight away 

​

      → Struggle with school reentry? Know what accommodations are necessary and how to advocate for them 

​

      → Get support to help your child manage their energy better at school and home

​

      → Practice the strategies and routines in real time so school feel easier 

​

      → Have a plan so you know what to do to help your child recover without pushing them too hard or

           avoiding the work that helps them get better

"Jenny was an immense help to our daughter during concussion recovery.

Excellent communication, planning, school support and general overall health optimization

during a stressful time were just a few of the things that Jenny provided to our family.

We can't recommend her enough!" - Parent of a High School Student

Cognitive SLP works with students and families recovering from concussions, post-concussion 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 so your child feels confident at school and at home again.

  • 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​

​

The focus is 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.

 

Help your child gain the confidence and skills to recover fully and be successful in school:

Hi, I'm Jenny Traver. I've been a speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) and certified brain injury specialist (CBIS) for 10 years. 
 

That means I specialize in how concussions and brain injuries affect thinking, learning, and communication

 

I help students return to school and cognitive activities while their brain is still healing, bridging the gap between medical recovery and academic success. 

​

I also help parents navigate the recovery process and advocate for their child in school.

Jenny was wonderful in coaching our daughter on how to organize her materials as well as her mind

about her approach to her assignments in a more relaxed way." - Parent of a High School Student
