• Therapy methods normally include tabletop activities, computer training, and pencil/paper tasks to improve underlying cognitive impairment.
• However, the learning associated with these methods does not always translate to the world outside the clinic.
• Patients may become frustrated with their lack of progress or find themselves unable to perform necessary tasks once they return to their home environment.This recording introduces an innovative, alternative, and effective approach to TBI and stroke rehabilitation.
• It proposes that therapists dealing with cognitive deficits conduct therapy sessions that steer away from work on primary cognitive skills in isolation and switch to having the patient perform comprehensive activities in "real-life" environments.
