Our clinics in Fairfax and Chantilly provide cognitive disorder therapy aimed at enhancing cognitive function and supporting the daily living needs of individuals with cognitive impairments.

Cognitive Disorder Symptoms that Require Therapy

Cognitive function can change over time and can be exacerbated by neurological processes and injuries to the brain. Luckily, this can be improved with ongoing therapy and support.

Individuals with cognitive disorders may experience:

  • Memory loss that disrupts daily life.

  • Difficulty concentrating and maintaining focus.

  • Impaired reasoning or judgment.

  • Confusion with time or place, making it hard to follow directions.

Causes and Complications of Cognitive Disorders

Cognitive disorders can stem from a variety of sources:

  • Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

  • Brain injuries from accidents or strokes.

  • Infections affecting the brain.

  • Genetic predispositions to cognitive impairments.

Without appropriate intervention, cognitive disorders can lead to loss of independence in managing personal and financial affairs, social withdrawal and isolation and put you at increased risk of additional injuries due to confusion and memory loss.

Areas to be assessed and treated include:

  • Problem solving/Safety awareness skills
