The Cognitive Pyramid is a visual and educational tool designed specifically for SLPs to educate the concepts of cognition and cognitive-communication to patients, caregivers, and families. It gives families a concrete, relatable roadmap that shows exactly how these crucial skills work together.
I first encountered this tool during my graduate studies, and it immediately became a cornerstone of my clinical practice. Since then, I've consistently relied on it to not only clearly define areas of cognitive need for patients and their families but also to secure genuine buy-in and investment in the therapeutic process.
