Specialized Brain Training in Buffalo, NY

Training cognitive functions and motor functions at the same time requires knowledge of the brain and body, also called functional neuroanatomy. Medical Insurance must abide by restrictive billing standards that limit the ability to practice current evidence-based practice in memory and mobility needs. Medical necessity restricts the time of tasks, the approaches used, and how we justify them. The Insurance Systems move slower than memory and brain science. Brainwaves Buffalo provides the most current in-person techniques for those needing memory training in Buffalo, NY.
