COGNITIVE SKILL BUILDING

Cognitive education is vital for the health, safety, and quality of life for individuals who have suffered from some kind of physical or emotional trauma;  experience learning challenges; have sustained head injuries; have challenges with attention and impulsivity, or difficulties with problem-solving, organization, and logical thinking which may also impact memory, learning, and language.  However, cognitive education is for everyone who wants to enhance their thinking skills.   

​

Virtually everyone, regardless of age, health, or other life circumstances, can improve their cognitive skills and thereby their life skills.   There are several schools of thought regarding how cognitive education and approaches can be successful.  Dr. Goldstein uses interactive assessment approaches to determine areas of strength and need, and different methods and programs based on cognitive and cognitive-behavioral approaches.

​

Dr. Goldstein is also certified in the Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) program.
