title: Cognitive rehabilitation: advancing the stature of occupational therapy.
abstract: As occupational therapists, we can advance our stature in cognitive rehabilitation by first narrowing our scope of practice to become the team experts in compensatory strategy training, the domain of cognitive rehabilitation most consistent with our history and expertise. Supported and aided by our professional association, we must also intensify our contribution to this developing field through research and individual and professional involvement in transdisciplinary organizations. Increased involvement and leadership from occupational therapy promise to improve the prospect that cognitive rehabilitation services will improve day-to-day performance for survivors of brain injury.
