Cognitive Remediation Therapy

Cognitive remediation is an extremely effective mental health treatment. The primary goal of this rehabilitation treatment is to reduce cognitive deficits. These deficits normally include attention, memory, and executive function disorders. If you utilize cognitive remediation effectively with your patients, they can experience a positive impact on functional skills which affect everyday life.

Whether your patient has schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, or psychotic disorders, HappyNeuron Pro has developed activities that work on specific skills to help them live a more normal life. Take a look at some of the cognitive remediation activities that can help your patients today!

Now more than ever, cognitive remediation is very widely accepted and used as a treatment method. There are many different methods used in cognitive remediation, but one that has proven to be successful with our activities is an approach called “NEAR”. The acronym NEAR stands for “Neuropsychological Educational Approach to Remediation”. As Dr. Alice Medalia states, NEAR emphasizes individualized training done in group formats and combines techniques developed in both neuropsychological and educational models to target neuropsychological deficits as they affect information processing and cognition.
