Research shows us the brain can still respond and adapt
even when changes from dementia are present...
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) is an evidence-based, non-drug therapy that supports thinking, language skills and confidence. Unlike crosswords, Sudoku or brain-training apps, this program uses conversation, shared ideas and problem-solving to target specific areas of the brain commonly impacted by dementia.
Our signature program "Cognitive Connections" is a 7-week, therapist guided home cognitive stimulation program.
The program includes:
-
Therapist assessment, guidance & coaching
-
14 adult-focused Cognitive Stimulation activities
-
Premium handbook & activity resource kit
Program may be eligible for Support at Home and NDIS funding.
