The Center for Neurorehabilitation Services, P.C. (CNS) is an independent clinic located in Fort Collins,Colorado. The mission of CNS is to provide outpatient, community based, comprehensive neurorehabilitation and neurodevelopmental therapy through a transdisciplinary approach to care. We provide innovative, collaborative, supportive treatment that is focused on the needs of the individual client resulting in increased independence and quality of life.

Our interdisciplinary team has provided neurorehabilitation services since the early 1980’s. However, as with many rehabilitation programs, CNS gradually evolved. It initially began as a private practice in neuropsychology. In response to community needs, it expanded to provide multiple therapeutic interventions. In 1988, we incorporated as the Brain Injury Recovery Program. Our initial goals included enabling brain injury survivors and their families to re-enter their home community of choice.

We see up to 500 new patients each year at our center, ranging in age from about five to about 85. A physician referral is generally required, and all treatment plans are signed as orders. As indicated, forty percent of our new patients have a primary diagnosis of traumatic brain injury.

Program: 

Treatment and Phases

Clients with more severe deficits will begin therapy in the Day Treatment Program if they meet criteria for admission. These include potential for improvement with participation, stable medical status, no serious behavior problems, and no evidence of ongoing substance abuse. They must be functioning at a minimum of Level V on the Rancho Los Amigos Cognitive Scale. They must be able to communicate functionally and have adequate receptive skills.

Cognitive Rehabilitation

Cognitive rehabilitation is designed to remediate and provide compensatory strategies for acquired cognitive difficulties. In the past several years, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain insurance reimbursement for cognitive rehabilitation as a separate therapeutic intervention because insurance companies have failed to acknowledge efficacy studies that demonstrate the value of this intervention.
