Problem Solving: Enhance Cognitive Skills for Success

Problem-solving isn't just a skill; it's the cornerstone of effective decision-making and goal achievement. At Compendium Training, we understand that strong problem-solving abilities are crucial for navigating life's challenges. Our intervention is designed to enhance cognitive skills, improve decision-making, and reduce emotional distress.

Why Problem Solving Matters

Mastering problem-solving skills isn't just about finding solutions; it's about adapting to new environments and achieving personal and professional goals. Individuals who struggle with problem-solving may find daily tasks overwhelming and experience barriers to success.

Our Approach

At Compendium Training, we offer an evidence-based intervention called SWAPS™. Developed in 2005 at the Brain Injury Research Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, SWAPS™ is proven to enhance problem-solving skills in individuals with cognitive weaknesses. This step-by-step process teaches participants to recognize, understand, and solve problems effectively.

What Sets SWAPS™ Apart:

SWAPS™ stands out for its structured yet flexible approach to problem-solving. It consists of five sequential steps that not only enhance problem-solving skills but also improve overall cognitive abilities. Here's why our clients rave about SWAPS™:

  1. Structured Simplicity: SWAPS™ offers a clear, step-by-step process that simplifies even the most complex problems. Your clients will find it easy to grasp and apply in various aspects of their lives, from managing daily tasks to tackling long-term goals.

  2. Adaptability: One of the key strengths of SWAPS™ is its adaptability to different situations. Whether it's a minor inconvenience or a major life decision, SWAPS™ provides a framework that can be tailored to fit any problem-solving scenario.

  3. Cognitive Enhancement: Beyond just solving problems, SWAPS™ helps improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and decision-making. Clients often report feeling more mentally agile and capable after implementing SWAPS™ in their lives.

  4. Real-Life Application: Unlike theoretical approaches, SWAPS™ is rooted in practicality. Clients appreciate how the skills they learn in our program directly translate to real-life situations, making it a valuable tool for personal and professional growth.

  5. Client-Centered Approach: At the core of SWAPS™ is a focus on the individual. Our intervention is designed to empower clients, giving them the confidence to tackle challenges head-on and the skills to succeed.
