Abstract
Impairment of cognitive processes is a frequent and common consequence of brain dysfunction. This article represents the cumulative efforts of rehabilitation professionals to develop a set of guidelines for the provision of cognitive rehabilitation services to persons with brain injuries. Despite t he widespread and common practice of individuals and facilities to provide cognitive rehabilitation to brain injury survivors, a consensus on the definition and clinical practice of cognitive rehabilitation has been lacking. A set of guidelines was therefore developed with broad-based input from professionals and practitioners associated with cognitive rehabilitation. Definitions, qualifications of independent practitioners, treatment structure, service evaluation, representation to the public, and responsibilities to the client and community are addressed. The guidelines are provided to help foster the systematic development of clinical practices, encourage general research activities, and promote professional development in cognitive rehabilitation.
