Featuring BrainPower™

A positive relaxed attitude is a key component in building confidence and improving cognitive skills. You can now include brainwave training in conjunction with the Captain’s Log Personal Trainer exercises. The optional BrainPower System incorporates brainwave biofeedback to help the trainee to develop “C.H.A.R.M.”, a Calm Happy Alert Relaxed Mental state, while they complete the progressively more difficult challenges of the Personal Trainer exercises.

The Captain’s Log Personal Trainer is research-based.

In a $1.3M Duke University study funded by the Department of Education, 64% of students who began the study in the first grade with six or more inattentive symptoms were symptom-free (0 or 1 symptom) in the 2nd grade after only 20 hours of attention training using this software.

Does it generalize?

Research overwhelmingly supports the benefits of cognitive training and its generalization to meaningful improvements for real-life functioning. As an example, in a research study done specifically with older adults, brain exercises clearly paid big dividends. Three groups of volunteers (mean age 73.6 years) received 10 sessions of cognitive exercises to boost reasoning skills, memory, and mental processing speed. The adults who did the activities were 3 times faster than controls when performing activities of daily living such as reading medicine ingredients, reacting to road signs, or finding contact information. Five years later, when compared to a control group, participants with memory training did 75% better on memory tasks, participants with reasoning training did 40% better on reasoning tasks and those with speed training did 300% better than the control group. Summing up the results of this study, Shankar Vedantam wrote in the Washington Post, “That would be as if someone went to the gym Monday through Friday for the first two weeks of the new year (2007), did no exercise after that for five years, and still saw significant benefits in 2012.” People are living longer than ever before. According to statistics, 45% of the aging population will develop some form of dementia by the age of 85. Cognitive training is the only treatment that appears to help mitigate this problem. Can we afford not to use it?

Billing Codes

Insurance coverage varies according to insurance company and state, but all major carriers now cover Cognitive Rehabilitation. It is billed in 15 minute units with fees paid at $35 to $55 per unit, depending on the region of the country. A treatment plan is required and progress must be documented. In addition, the patient needs to be qualified to show that he or she can possibly benefit from this form of treatment. Currently, neurological disorders, strokes, cancer treatment (medicines used to treat cancer are toxic to the brain) and traumatic brain injuries are covered. Alzheimer's is usually not covered. It is recommend that a prescription for cognitive rehabilitation be obtained from the treating physician and that the clinician also call the insurance company involved if there are specific concerns regarding the client’s policy.
