Cognitive Communication Skills

Cognitive-communication difficulties affect how we think, process, and communicate after brain injuries, concussions, or neurological conditions.

​

We focus on:

  • Memory, attention, and organization skills.

  • Problem-solving and planning for daily tasks.

  • Strategies for academic or workplace success.

  • Family education and support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Who benefits?
Adults recovering from traumatic brain injury, stroke, or concussion, as well as children with executive function challenges.

2. What does therapy look like?
We set functional goals, such as remembering appointments, planning school assignments, or improving workplace communication.

3. What areas can cognitive-communication therapy help with?
Therapy can target attention, memory, organization, problem-solving, social communication, and self-regulation. We focus on practical skills that make everyday life easier — like following conversations, staying on task, or managing time effectively.

4. How is cognitive-communication therapy different from tutoring?
Tutoring focuses on specific academic content. Cognitive-communication therapy, on the other hand, helps strengthen the underlying thinking and communication skills needed for learning, working, and social interaction.

5. How long does therapy usually last?
It depends on your goals and the nature of the injury or challenges. Some clients benefit from short-term, goal-focused intervention, while others may work with their therapist over a longer period to rebuild cognitive and communication skills.

6. Can you help with return-to-work or school goals?
Yes. We help clients build the communication, organization, and problem-solving strategies needed to manage daily tasks and succeed in academic or workplace settings.

7. Do you offer therapy for concussion recovery?
Yes. Even mild concussions can cause changes in focus, memory, and communication. We help identify subtle challenges and develop strategies to improve everyday functioning and confidence.
