Cognitive Retraining
Blue Ridge Speech & Voice provides individualized therapy to help adults improve memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning after stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Our licensed speech-language pathologists deliver evidence-based cognitive retraining via secure online sessions, so you can work on real-life skills from the comfort of home.
Each program is tailored to your daily needs—whether that’s remembering appointments, organizing tasks at work, or improving mental flexibility for complex conversations. We combine proven techniques such as strategy training, metacognitive exercises, and functional practice tasks to strengthen brain networks and support independence. Therapy often includes family or care-partner education to ensure strategies carry over into everyday routines, creating lasting improvements in attention, memory, and overall communication.
