Clinical Neuropsychology
The Burke Rehabilitation Hospital has long recognized that coping with a neurological illness or injury is difficult for patients and families. Burke’s Clinical Neuropsychologists, specialists in evaluating and treating brain-behavior relationship, work with patients to monitor recovery progress and develop treatment goals and objectives for patients with cognitive impairments, such as personality changes, brought on by brain injury or stroke.
Weekly education and support groups focus on coping and adjusting to stroke or brain injury, stroke and brain injury education, and cognitive rehabilitation education; and brief, cognitive-behavioral, and individual psychotherapy can be provided on a case-by-case basis. Psychodiagnostic assessment services are available as needed.
