Memory decline is rarely one failure. Retrieval, working memory and sequencing are different jobs in different systems, and support only gets specific once you know which one is slipping.
Retrieval and short holds are different jobs in different places, and they do not decline at the same rate.
Information retrieval, and the auditory sequential memory that holds a name or an instruction long enough to store it.
Working memory and visual sequential memory, the short holds that everything else runs on.

Memory is not one function, and support only gets specific once you know which part is slipping.
The Individualized NeuroDevelopmental Profile is the entry point, and it can be completed by the person themselves or by a primary caregiver on their behalf. Developmental Milestones does not apply here; it runs birth through seventy-two months.
For this presentation that usually means Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy, structured therapy after injury, illness or decline. Where a pathway can still be reinforced, we reinforce it. Where it cannot, compensatory strategies build a working route around it. We will not tell you the first is possible when it is not.
What people ask about memory decline, including the one we will not overpromise on.
No, and we will not tell you otherwise. Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy is a medically recognized intervention to restore, optimize and protect function. Where a pathway cannot be rebuilt, compensatory work builds a route around it.
Compensatory strategies are useful at any stage, because they work with what is still available, whether or not it can be rebuilt.
The Individualized NeuroDevelopmental Profile can be completed by the individual or by a primary caregiver on their behalf.

Retrieval, working memory and sequencing are three different jobs. Support that names the right one is worth more than support that names none.
