A traumatic brain injury, blast injury or concussion can affect cognition. Put simply, it can affect how a child, adult or veteran thinks and learns. This can have widespread effects on daily life, relationships, school, and work for survivors and families. These brain injury books provide information for the treatment of cognitive disorders after a concussion, traumatic brain injury or blast injury.
The term cognitive rehabilitation was perhaps always too narrow, and focused too heavily on remediating or compensating for decreased cognitive abilities. The term rehabilitation of individuals with cognitive impairment probably better captures the emphasis on injured individuals that has and will always be the target of cognitive rehabilitation.
