Computerized Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CCRT) for African Children: Evidence for Neuropsychological Benefit and Future Directions

Neuropsychology of Children in Africa

Part of the book series: Specialty Topics in Pediatric Neuropsychology ((STPN))

Abstract

Cognitive deficits are a common outcome of central nervous system (CNS) infections in African children. Cerebral malaria and HIV infection are the commonest CNS infections associated with these deficits. The high mortality associated with these conditions has made them a public health priority in many African countries. With better treatment for these conditions now available, more children now survive into adulthood. More attention is now being paid to the quality of life of these children who live with persisting cognitive deficits. In order for these children to achieve their full potential, interventions have been called for like cognitive rehabilitation, speech and physical therapy, and caregiver training. This chapter presents a review of the cognitive rehabilitation studies carried out in sub-Saharan Africa looking at how they were designed, the outcomes and limitations. A brief overview of similar interventions for children with other CNS disorders is also given. A discussion of the implication of these studies and suggestions for future research are presented.
