Cognitive rehabilitation occupational therapy can help people maintain independence and improve everyday functioning. Here’s what it involves:

🟢 Assessment first: Understanding your strengths, challenges, and goals guides therapy.
🟢 Practical focus: Therapy targets skills important to your daily life — from work tasks to home routines.
🟢 Restore or adapt: Sessions may help retrain skills or develop new strategies to manage tasks.
🟢 Tools and technology: Computer exercises, assistive devices, and routines can support progress.
🟢 Holistic support: Therapy considers physical, emotional, and cognitive needs and often involves family or carers.

If you or someone you care about is navigating cognitive changes, learn more about cognitive rehabilitation programs in Brisbane and online.

Neurological conditions often change how much effort it takes to plan, initiate, and sustain everyday tasks.

Clinical photobiomodulation (PBM) is being used in some rehab settings as an adjunct to therapy, with emerging evidence in specific populations — but outcomes depend on the person, the goal, and how it’s integrated.

In our OT-led programs, PBM is considered when it supports:. functional practice and carryover. attention and task initiation under fatigue. movement quality when planning is disrupted. regulation where “mental noise” and overload limit participation

We keep it simple: dose and timing are selected to serve a functional goal — not a generic time under lights.

Missed a traffic signal? Feeling disoriented in familiar places? Driving slower or faster than usual? These could be warning signs that memory loss is affecting driving ability.

Whether it’s a loved one or yourself, changes in memory or brain health, like stroke, brain injury, or dementia, can impact safe driving skills.

Some signs to watch for:
❌ Loss of confidence behind the wheel
⚠️ Risky or poor decision-making while driving
🌀 Feeling overwhelmed in complex traffic situations
🚦 Missing or ignoring traffic signals
🚗 Difficulty navigating busy intersections
👀 Cars or obstacles “appear out of nowhere”

Even if someone has driven for years, memory and thinking changes can gradually affect their ability to consistently respond to road conditions.

Occupational Therapy Brisbane offers driving assessments for older adults or those experiencing cognitive changes. Our standardised evaluations test memory, reaction times, visual perception, and thinking skills to help determine safe driving ability.

🟢 Optimise recovery: Rehab programs assist adults regaining skills after illness, injury, or neurological conditions like stroke, dementia, or Parkinson’s.
🟢 Support thinking and memory: Tailored memory health programs help manage cognitive changes and support your care team.
🟢 Personalised care: Assessments, treatment plans, and recommendations are tailored to your goals, giving you a clear path to independence.

Whatever your living situation, occupational therapists can provide mobile or in-clinic services, working with you and your support team to make life safer, easier, and more fulfilling.

After surgery, some people experience postoperative cognitive changes, also called POCD. Symptoms can range from subtle forgetfulness to difficulty focusing, planning, or completing everyday tasks.

Here’s what can help:
🧠 Understand the risk: Age, type of surgery, and pre-existing health factors can influence cognitive recovery.
🏃 Prepare before surgery: Healthy lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and cognitive stimulation can reduce risk.
🏥 Support during recovery: Orientation, familiar objects, sensory aids, and gentle cognitive exercises help your brain heal.
🏡 At-home strategies: Pacing activities, staying socially connected, and gradual cognitive challenges can improve mental clarity.
📋 Assessment and guidance: A memory health check or cognitive assessment can identify lingering issues and create a personalised recovery plan.

Brain fog after surgery is often temporary, but knowing the risk factors and recovery strategies can make a real difference.

🌅🧠 A Fresh Start for Your Mind: Setting the Tone for a Healthy Year Ahead

As we step into a new year, it’s not just our goals that matter — it’s how we care for the mind that helps us reach them.

Your brain thrives on routine, connection, and purpose. So rather than setting resolutions that fade by February, try setting intentions that nurture your cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

Here are a few gentle ways to begin the year with brain health in mind:

💭 Start slow: Give your brain time to adjust after the holiday rush — ease back into routines with kindness.
🥦 Feed your focus: Prioritise balanced meals, hydration, and movement to support concentration and energy.
💬 Stay connected: Meaningful social interactions help boost mood and cognitive resilience.
🧘‍♀️ Make space for calm: Try short daily moments of mindfulness, reading, or quiet reflection.
🎯 Set one small goal: Choose a simple, achievable action that supports your wellbeing — consistency matters more than perfection.

This year, may you nurture your brain with balance, curiosity, and care. Here’s to growth, clarity, and wellbeing in the months ahead.
