Cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation in Barranquilla, Colombia

What is the difference between cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation?

Stimulation aims to strengthen or maintain functions such as memory, attention or language, for example in children with developmental difficulties or in healthy older adults or those with mild decline. Rehabilitation aims to recover or compensate for functions lost after a stroke, head injury, tumor or neurological disease.

How does it work?

With personalized exercises on paper, computer or apps that get harder as the person improves. Everyday strategies are also taught, such as planners, alarms, routines or ways to organize information, so what is learned carries over to real life.

Who provides it?

A neuropsychologist, who first assesses which functions are affected and which are preserved. Depending on the case, they work with an occupational therapist, speech therapist and neurologist.

What results can you expect?

It depends on the cause and when treatment starts. Starting early after an injury, staying consistent and involving the family greatly improve results.
