Comprehensive Return-to-Work Support Plans
We collaborate with you and your employer to develop a customized return-to-work plan.
The graduated return-to-work plan addresses your unique needs as well as those of your employer. We consult with you and your employer to set timelines and clear expectations based on assessments of your job demands and specific workplace requirements.
To maintain transparency and a healthy relationship between you and your employer, we address returning to work early in the rehabilitation process.
Staying healthy and strong at work is essential for the well-being of both employer and employee. Focusing on the bigger picture, we help you create a healthy work life balance that supports wellness and longevity in the workforce.
Well Established Processes and Methodologies
Our well established processes and methodologies, based on industry best practices, help you succeed in returning to work for the long term.
Why is Cogmed different from other "brain training" programs?
Cogmed Working Memory Training Program is designed to improve your ability to learn new skills, rather than teach you new skills. It is founded on the concept of neuroplasticity, meaning that the brain is able to adapt and change the way it functions to promote maximum performance.
Cogmed targets clear and specific areas of difficulty -- attention and working memory. You will benefit socially, professionally and academically as you become better at focusing on the task at hand.
Cogmed is a high quality service that provides you with a Certified Cogmed Coach who will support and motivate you throughout the training process.
Cogmed Working Memory training is based heavily on peer-reviewed research and research continues on the benefits of Cogmed.
Is Cogmed right for you?
- Do you have difficulties with some or all of the following?
- Remembering instructions
