COGNITIVE SKILLS TRAINING
>Overview

The Cognitive Connection uses two very effective evidence-based programs to help its clients: Reasoning & Rehabilitation Cognitive Skills training for adults and Reasoning & ReActing Cognitive Skills training for adolescents.

Both programs were designed and developed by
T3 Associates of Ottawa, Canada and are recognized and used worldwide.

The programs are used primarily for high-risk, community-based adult offenders and juvenile delinquents, inmates in Prisons and Youth Development Centers and in our substance abuse treatment programs.

Cognitive behavioral interventions have been adopted as a cornerstone philosophy in the rehabilitative programs within the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

Years of research have proven the effectiveness of these two cognitive skills training programs. Participants who completed this training have developed more positive attitudes toward authority, increased their social skills, and improved their critical reasoning skills.

As a result, they are often better able to understand and apply skills in their daily lives from other educational and treatment programs such as school, parenting classes, employment training, and substance abuse treatment.
