Cognitive Therapy
Written and reviewed by: My Child Without Limits Advisory Committee
There are several types of therapy that can be considered cognitive therapy. Cognitive refers to thinking - the functions of memory, attention, perception, learning, planning, judgment, and the ability to make decisions. Many conditions can impair one or more of these functions. Even if there is no impairment, simply living with a disability can affect your child's thoughts and emotions. The two main forms of cognitive therapy are psychotherapy, sometimes known as cognitive-behavior therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation.
