Cognitive therapy at Newro Neuro-Rehabilitation Center is a specialized service designed to address cognitive impairment, which may manifest gradually as a result of aging or more abruptly following a neurological injury such as a stroke, head injury, Parkinson’s disease, or other neurodegenerative conditions. Our focus is to identify and treat cognitive challenges, enhancing various domains including memory, attention, fluency, planning, motor speed, mental speed, visuospatial attention, focused attention, and sustained attention.
