We develop personalized treatments to reset the brain’s ability to recover after traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Our clinical trials are conducted to develop treatments for patients who have few to no treatment options to recover from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), severe to mild also referred to as concussion, which often co-occur with other neurologic and mental health conditions.
Our treatments are designed to improve patients’ quality of life
Our mission is to improve the well-being of patients with innovative neurorehabilitation techniques that are tailored to each patient’s unique condition and self-identified goals.
Our research is on-going
We are a team of clinicians with backgrounds in neuroscience, psychiatry, speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more. The lab, founded by Dr. Theresa Bender Pape, operates in partnership with Northwestern Medicine, the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab and Moody Neurorehabilitation Hospital.
Familiar Auditory Sensory Training: A Therapy Program
The Familiar Auditory Sensory Training (FAST) program is a sound-based therapy that improves brain health, attention, and social connection in individuals with Disorders of Consciousness (DoC). This video illustrates the research behind the FAST, an affordable, evidence-based treatment available for use at home and in specialized healthcare settings. FAST is recognized as a key component of national and international rehabilitation and medical practice guidelines.
