Rehabilitation of sensory and cognitive function typically involves methods for retraining neural pathways or training new neural pathways to regain or improve neurocognitive functioning that has been diminished by disease or traumatic injury.

Methods - Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and many other methods that "exercise" specific brain functions are used. For example eye-hand coordination exercises may rehabilitate certain motor deficits, or well structured planning and organizing exercises might help rehabilitate certain frontal lobe "executive functions" of the brain following a traumatic blow to the head.Brain functions that are impaired because of traumatic brain injuries are often the most challenging and difficult to rehabilitate. Much work is being done in nerve regenreation for the most severely damaged neural pathways.

Common Examples - Two common neuropsychological problems treatable with rehabilitation are Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and concussion.

ADHD - There are many therapists and interventions for rehabilitation of children and adults who suffer ADHD, many of whom are parents of children with this problem. The most frequently used treatment method involves drugs such as Ritalin, and many argue that drugs do not rehabilitate but only relieve ADHD sufferers (and those around them) from the social and behavioral disruptiveness caused by attention deficiencies and hyperactive behavior. However, many others argue that such symptom relief enables the sufferer and those around him or her to improve cognitive and motor functioning and controls through standard educational and social training that would otherwise be impossible. The next most common rehabilitation approach for ADHD uses various and specific cognitive/behavioral methods to help establish new brain-behavior relationships or functioning that is impaired in sufferers of ADHD.

Concussion - Much research and focus has been given to concussion suffered frequently by athletes. While the severity of brain trauma has been standardized for immediate "side-line" assessment, much work needs to be done to understand how to rehabilitate or accelerate the rehabilitation of athletes' brain function following serious concussion -- where consciousness is lost for a few moments or more. Currently, rehabilitation of concussive brain injury is based on "quiet" time without jarring motions that enables the brain to "heal" on its own. Rehabilitation research and practices are a fertile area for clinical neuropsychologists and others.

On My Path Music
Sky was musically and spiritually trained in the Native American and Tibetan Buddhist traditions - and is a sound healer. “My music is but a reflection of compassion, equanimity, joy, and love. We have need for potent healing music, which is a timely refuge for the world - because we are living in degenerate, highly stressful times. Our bodies have need to hear the benevolent ancient healing sound memories because the traumas we are experiencing today are effecting our bodies in ways that need support and healing through the application of this ancient music. Traditional allopathic testing, treatments and medicines alone are not resolving these traumas. Here are a few reports of Sky's music: the healing qualities of your music is incomparable and I encouraged you to reach much larger audiences * your healing music has greatly eased the symptoms of my bipolar depressive disorder. * my children's fussiness is stopped with your music, and they become relaxed and soothed - no more problems with bedtime: they ask me to put on your music then quickly fall into calm sleep. * “I play your music in my medical office because it produces a calm soothing environment. – I feel better, am more productive, my patients are more relaxed and enjoy the music as well.”
