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 a research-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 exercise thinking, memory and language skills.
Our signature program "Cognitive Connections" is a 7-week, therapist guided program, completed together at home.
The program includes:
-
Assessment, review & follow-up
-
14 adult-focused cognitive stimulation activities
-
Video coaching to support confident delivery
-
Printed handbook & premium resource kit
Program may be eligible for Support at Home and NDIS funding.
