The field of cognitive rehabilitation is rapidly growing. The treatment is a collection of techniques (from paper and pencil tasks to computer provided exercises) designed to improve attention, comprehension, learning, remembering, and problem-solving. Initially used to treat wounded veterans and stroke victims, it is now being adapted to help those who have been diagnosed with dementia, as well as students from elementary school through graduate school, (with or without formal LD), who are having academic difficulties. Maximizing memory can help any individual achieve optimal occupational performance, and seminars are routinely offered to businesses, big and small. At The Cognitive Fitness Center, individuals suffering from cognitive difficulties, or those who care for them, can find help learning how to improve cognitive skills. | "I'm having trouble accepting the unacceptable - but I look forward to coming each week.
