That is particularly true when you have a (currently) static CNS lesion.<br /><br />The complicating problem is that therapy may be able to help - specifically focusing on compensatory techniques, adaptations, and even perhaps remediation... but that our allowed intervention period is often restricted. This kind of severe visuoconstructive and cognitive problem may improve over a long period of time and this leads to a mismatch between what the insurance will typically 'cover' and what the patient actually needs.<br /><br />In my experience it is not uncommon to see a lot of progress with these problems well after the point that the patient has disengaged from the medical model - which is truly unfortunate.Christopher J.
