Abstract
The casebook demonstrates that etiology of cognitive symptoms is not the key factor in their remediation. Rather, stability of the neurological condition and availability of alternate functional systems or neural networks are necessary for the intervention to be effective. The number of sessions needed to improve in any identified domain will vary by patient, and the target should be a behavioral and not a temporal one. Following this approach, the casebook demonstrates significant improvement in various kinds of attention and memory problems, visual/spatial deficits, and executive dysfunction, independent of etiology or age of the patient.
