Impulse disorders
Left-sided neglect

Initially, a client will be assessed through a pre-treatment neuropsychological evaluation in order to ascertain unique strengths to build upon, as well as to identify areas of weakness. Once this is completed, the client begins completing the NeurXercise™ modules. After a client has completed their individualized NeurXercise™ program, a post-treatment neuropsychological evaluation will be completed in order to ascertain progress made.

What is NeurXercise™?

NeurXercise™ consists of thirty multilevel game-like exercises for improving cognitive functioning in individuals with brain impairment. It is theory-based, has adjustable parameters for individual treatment planning, has a motivating format, is menu driven and simple to use. Analyses of a client's performance on each exercise can lead to suggestions for treatment planning, compensatory and restorative strategies.
