COGNITIVE-COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Personalized strategies, exercises, and aids are created to improve recall, especially after brain injury or with conditions like dementia, by strengthening neural pathways for better information processing and daily functioning. Activities like storytelling, word games, and external tools (calendars, notes), practicing internal techniques (visualization, repetition, chunking) for memory retention and daily tasks, boosting independence.  

Speech therapy targets attention through activities like listening games, visual scanning (finding items in cluttered scenes), sequencing activities, and dual attention tasks to build skills in sustained, selective, and divided attention, 

Executive functioning in speech therapy targets cognitive skills like planning, organizing, working memory, and self-regulation, crucial for communication, learning, and daily life
