Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

It aims to improve cognitive and functional abilities altered by brain-related conditions, whether neurodevelopmental, acquired, or neurodegenerative.

It supports children and adolescents in gaining greater autonomy in their daily lives and adapt more effectively to their personal, social and school environments.

It includes:

• Restoring cognitive functions through targeted exercises focused on memory, attention, and executive skills.

• Compensating for difficulties with practical strategies, sometimes supported by adjustments to the person’s environment.

The approach is personalized and takes into account emotional factors—such as anxiety or feelings of disorientation—as well as identity-related experiences that may emerge when major and sudden cognitive changes —particularly in the context of acquired neurological conditions— alter how a person perceives themselves.

It therefore extends beyond cognition alone and is conceived as a truly holistic intervention.

It is recommended when a condition affects autonomy, social functioning, academic performance, or overall quality of life.

Rehabilitation can begin once a neuropsychological assessment has been completed, which helps identify the specific areas that need attention.

If no assessment has been carried out yet, an evaluation will need to be scheduled to determine priorities and goals for the intervention.

The first session focuses on understanding the child or adolescent’s difficulties and needs and relies on any available neuropsychological or medical reports, making it helpful to share these documents in advance.

This foundational step helps establish the framework for treatment and set clear, meaningful goals for rehabilitation.

Intervention may focus on memory, attention, executive functions, or other affected areas — always through an individualized and practical, daily-life–oriented approach.

The length of rehabilitation varies according to the goals and the child or adolescent’s progress.

A follow-up period of several months is often required. Both the pace and the length of the work are tailored to each individual, with respect for their abilities, energy, and personal path.
