Cognition

What is Cognition ?

Cognition is the mental process of behaving, rational thinking, action-taking, memory, awareness, and judgment. As age grows, people experience cognitive function losses. Speech therapy directed towards alteration in speech and vocal coordination loss due to cognitive changes is called cognitive speech therapy. Due to attention span loss, concentration, and orientation loss, a person’s normal speech articulation can be affected, resulting in repeated speech, disoriented speech, mumbled speech, and more. Cognitive speech therapy includes brain exercises, speech, and vocal exercises, cognitive health improvement exercises, medication toward the underlying mental problem if any, and regular support.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • A speech pathologist assesses the severity of the cognitive function loss and advises a neurological check-up if needed.
  • While talking to a person with cognitive disabilities, a therapist makes it so that there are no distractions, eye-to-eye contact and direct talking is done, familiar topics and a consistent environment is maintained all the while encouraging the person to share their views and actively take part in the therapy.
  • Cognitive brain exercises will be performed in a fun and easy manner to reduce further depletion of their cognitive senses.
  • Speech exercises involving the use of familiar and simple words, sentence formation at a slow and comfortable rate with as much intellectual meaning as possible will be performed.
  • Medical intervention may be required for the underlying neurological or age-related issues.
