CNS programs are directed by a clinical staff under the leadership of Dr. Mark J. Ashley, Sc.D., CCC-SLP, CCM, CBIST, founder and CEO of CNS, who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of people with brain injury.

Our clinical and residential teams collaborate with physicians, insurers, and families to ensure that mutual goals are met.
RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION

BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

CNS also respects the language, culture, and religion of residential patients. Specific needs such as dietary restrictions and proximity to places of worship are taken into account when planning the transition to a residential facility.
Bridging the Gap from Rehabilitation to Independence
Making the transition from rehabilitation to home life can be challenging if a period of structured living is not in the patient’s treatment plan. The CNS approach is to bridge this gap, teaching patients how to gain independence and skill so they are reunited successfully with their family, employers, and the community.
