Cognitive Communication Therapy

After a stroke, brain injury, COVID recovery or other neurogenic diagnosis, changes in cognition are common. Below are some features of cognitive-communication disorders that you may notice. A licensed speech language pathologist (SLP) can diagnose and treat these problems.

​

Memory:

you or a loved one may:

• experience confusion about where you are or the date or time

• have trouble remembering what you've done throughout the day

• get lost in familiar or new environments

• have difficulty following through on commitments or attending appointments

 

Attention:

you or a loved one may:

• experience "brain fog" or difficulty concentrating

• miss important details when reading or in a conversation

• skip words or sections of a page when reading or unintentionally ignore people in your surroundings if not directly in front of you

 

Planning/ Executive Functioning

you or a loved one may:

• have trouble "putting the pieces together" or taking multiple variables into consideration when planning or making a decision

• have a "loose filter"- say things  before thinking it through

• struggle to predict the consequences of your actions
