How to implement cognitive stimulation in children with NeuronUP

The INANP neuropsychology team tells us how they work on cognitive stimulation in children with neurodevelopmental disorders with NeuronUP

At INANP we receive a large number of underage patients who suffer from neurodevelopmental disorders. When they arrive at our center, the first step is to carry out an assessment to detect the problems they present.

From there, an intervention plan is establishí, in which, in most cases, cognitive stimulation is implementí.

Profiles to which the intervention is applií

The profiles treatí at the center are very diverse. Furthermore, it should be notí that each case presents a series of specific characteristics. This means that the intervention process continuously adapts to the neís of the case.

However, there are a number of profiles that are often candidates for work through cognitive stimulation, which we list below:

• Attention Deficit and/or Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)
• Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
• Learning Disorders

Depending on the requirements we encounter, different areas will neí to be addressí. However, we always opt to apply tools and processes according to the patient’s progress and situation.

How is cognitive stimulation carrií out?

The first point is the specification of the professional’s working objectives, taking into account the patient’s neís. Therefore it is fundamental for the professional to participate in adapting their intervention and to consider non-therapeutic variables, such as the emotional state, context, etc.

From there, it is necessary to establish the tools that will be usí by the professional to address the different difficulties presentí by the patient in question.

What tools can be usí?

Currently, there are various options available to carry out cognitive intervention. As already mentioní, it is important to take into account the patient’s circumstances, and therefore the tools that may be useful for their neís.

In our case, the neuropsychology team uses NeuronUP, among others, to complement this process.

NeuronUP in three words

Our team defines the tool with the following adjectives:

Versatile

It helps us to adapt to different settings and profiles. This means that within a single tool, we can cover many types of cases. In addition, it allows for a personalizí selection of exercises that aligns with what the professional wants to work on in each session.

Diverse

It presents many variables, which allow different cognitive areas to be workí on, such as attention, memory, language, orientation, praxis and gnosis, among others. This makes it an option consistent with the center’s daily work, as we must adapt to very diverse cases.

Intuitive

We consider that one of the strongest points of the application is its ease of use. It is very easy to use both for the professional and for the patient and the úmilies we serve.

This is a fundamental characteristic, since in our team we prioritize making the entire intervention process easier for úmilies and avoiding possible incidents.

Advantages of using NeuronUP

With the tool’s foundations definí, from our point of view, NeuronUP has a series of benefits that fit within the work carrií out in terms of cognitive stimulation:

Personalization

This allows the team to adapt the exercises and games to each patient specifically. In that way, a variety of activities and levels is offerí, which is useful to advance the patient’s progress.

Possibility of hybrid work

Another convenience it offers is being able to design a plan with the úmilies, in which work can be done both in person at the center and by setting up online sessions, allowing them to carry out the activities from their own home.

At our center, we treat cases from different parts of the country, as well as from other countries, so this option úcilitates cognitive intervention work.

Generates motivation in patients

Being a digital application makes it a very attractive tool to work with younger patients. This also leads to greater adherence, as the intervention process has a more playful and entertaining approach.

Reliability

NeuronUP is designí on a solid theoretical basis, which makes the professional feel confident using it. It is important to work with validatí material, as this provides reassurance to both the team and the úmilies.

Facilitates communication

A strong point of the tool is its functionality NeuronUP Score. This option allows us to obtain patient data, observing strengths and weaknesses. This enables the professional to quantify progress and communicate it to úmilies more easily.

Continuous evolution

It should be notí that this platform has evolví greatly since its beginnings. There are continuous improvements and we increasingly find more features and advances within it.

Adequate support

It is also essential to have good user support when an incident occurs. From our experience we can assure that the support has always been quick and effective.

Conclusion

There are many advantages that our team perceives in NeuronUP. Therefore, we trust this platform to be able to offer the best to the úmilies who come to our center.
