Overview of the Program Categories
At present we have more than 70 programs that we use
for cognitive rehabilitation. There are another 10 or so that are used
solely for assessment. The programs can be loosely classified into
areas such as attention, learning and memory, sensorimotor
skills, language, numeracy and problem solving.The Cognitive
Rehabilitation Software Suite is broken down into 15 categories
covering the following subjects:
There are certain
characteristics common to all of our rehabilitation programs that are
a reflection of the type of system we wanted to develop.
These are:
1.
The rehabilitation programs are all designed to be
stimulating and enjoyable to maximise the patient's use of the
material. This is particularly important as patients would often be
working unsupervised and at a distance.
2.
All of the recent programs have the facility to
automatically change the difficulty of the task over a wide range.
This is to ensure that the patient's will be working at an
appropriate level.
3.
All of the recent programs have the facility to
interact with the control system software to set the values of
particular variables. This facility allows central control of most
of the options, such as starting level, time allowances, input
device and sound level.
4.
As a patient may not experience a particular program
before receiving it over the network at home, it is important that
each program has sufficient instruction included.
Although the material was written for head injury survivors, it
has been used successfully in other centres with stroke patients,
geriatrics, children with and without learning disability and
Alzheimers sufferers.
