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 therapy that helps with dementia. Unlike crosswords, Sudoku or brain-training apps, CST uses conversation, shared ideas and problem-solving to stimulate a range of thinking and language skills commonly impacted by dementia.
Our signature CST program "Cognitive Connections" is a 7-week, therapist guided program.
The program includes:
-
14 adult-focused Cognitive Stimulation activities
-
Personalised assessment, guidance & coaching
-
Premium handbook & activity resource kit
Program may be eligible for Support at Home and NDIS funding.
