Abstract

Over the past three decades, the Institute for Cognitive Prosthetics (ICP) has studied and reported [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] a novel approach for treating patients with cognitive deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and certain non-degenerative acquired brain injuries (ABI). A research and development enterprise, ICP’s mission is to advance clinical outcomes by patient use of technology and by providing therapists with new tools that expand their ability to produce clinical outcomes. ICP subsequently established Neuro-Hope as the provider of the professional services now referred to as Collaborative Rehabilitation Therapy (CoRT). CoRT is designed to support patients with a broad range of challenges as well as their families who experience relationship disruptions following sudden brain injury in a loved one.
