There's More to Memory Than Just Remembering...

Memory is much more than just recall—it’s intricately linked to a wider cognitive network that includes attention, processing speed, spatial awareness, and emotional regulation.

Why Memory Suffers

When these supporting systems are stressed or underdeveloped, it’s not simply forgetfulness at play. The real issue is that the brain may never fully encode the information in the first place, making effective recall impossible.

How CFDT Helps

Cognitive Function Development Therapy (CFDT) addresses this challenge by strengthening the foundational systems that allow the brain to take in, organize, store, and retrieve information. Unlike compensation-based methods, CFDT builds true cognitive capacity from the ground up.
