Cognitive rehabilitation

Cognitive rehabilitation is an individualized non-pharmacological therapeutic intervention focused on the identification of personally relevant and pragmatic goals that could be reachable by developing and implementing compensatory strategies in cooperation with the person with dementia and his/her family. It aims to improve performance in activities of daily living and does not focus on cognition per se. It has been reported that people with mild to moderate dementia benefit significantly from less than ten individual sessions of cognitive rehabilitation delivered by a specialized occupational therapist in the participants’ homes
