Opening the Black Box of Cognitive Rehabilitation: Integrating the ICF, RTSS, and PIE

International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, v59 n2 p559-571 2024
Background: Cognitive rehabilitation is a complex and specialized area of practice, as it aims to support individuals with diverse neuropsychological profiles, personal characteristics, and intersectionalities in achieving meaningful, functional change in personally relevant aspects of their everyday lives. In many ways, cognitive rehabilitation is the epitome of a 'black box': it has complicated internal processes that are mysterious to users. We argue that this complex practice has suffered from a lack of specificity of clinical processes and treatment components, resulting in negative consequences for both providers and clients. Aim: To unpack the black box of cognitive rehabilitation by describing a unifying set of frameworks that can effectively direct clinical practice across clinical disciplines: the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS), and the Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation framework (PIE). We present a clinical case that illustrates the application of the three frameworks. Conclusion: Implementation of these three integrated frameworks supports clinical reasoning, replication of treatments, and communication across disciplines with the ultimate impact of improving rehabilitation outcomes. The frameworks provide a structure for clinicians to clearly define both the "what" and the "how" of treatment, with a level of specificity to maximize both effectiveness and efficiency of intervention.
