The Learning, Attention and Memory Program at Allied Rehab in Scranton assists people with learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, traumatic brain injuries, neurological disorders and memory loss to reach their full potential and maximum quality of life. Services are available for individuals of all ages, from preschool through late adulthood. Individuals are provided with information to help them cope with psychological and environmental barriers.
The evaluation begins with a one-on-one meeting with a psychologist to review current concerns regarding learning, attention, memory and adjustment. The psychologist uses this information to design an individualized battery of psychological and neuropsychological tests including measures of intellectual functioning, language, academic achievement, attention, memory, executive function and sensory motor skills. In addition, measures of behavioral and emotional functioning, temperament and vocational interests are administered.

An experienced licensed psychologist will then meet with the patient and family to interpret the results of the evaluation, provide an understanding of the patient?s profile and give recommendations to capitalize on their strengths and to compensate for the weaknesses. The Center for Learning, Attention and Memory is staffed by licensed clinical therapists and psychological examiners. All staff members are proficient in understanding cognitive, emotional, psychological and physiological needs of people with disabilities.

How The Program Works

Continuum of Care

To provide the best care possible for patients recovering from a debilitating condition or injury, Allied Services provides a comprehensive, seamless continuum of rehabilitative care. Our outpatient programs are primarily for people living safely at home who have completed or did not require a post-acute inpatient stay, but require additional rehabilitative therapy to alleviate physical limitation or pain.

If a patient suffering from a debilitating condition or injury requires intensive, around-the-clock nursing and/or therapy services, but cannot tolerate or does not require the intensity of therapy delivered during an inpatient rehab hospital stay, or their insurance does not cover inpatient rehabilitation, they would be an appropriate candidate for a transitional or long-term stay at our skilled nursing facility. Conversely, if the patient requires 24-hour care and can tolerate the intensity of a stay at one of our rehabilitation hospitals, they would be best suited for a stay at one of our inpatient facilities.

Patient Outcomes

At Allied Services, patient outcome metrics such as average number of visits, pain reduction, reduced function limitation, and likelyhood of recommending Allied Services to others, are among the best in the United States:

• 98% of our outpatient population reported that their overall rating of care received was either good or very good.
• 97% of our outpatient population reported that they would recommend out services to others.
• 93% of our outpatient population reported that they either had no pain or a decrease in their pain during their treatment.

Our rehabilitation facilities regularly outperform other rehabilitation providers nationwide. According to statistics compiled by the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, Allied Services ranks in the top 4% of 892 rehabilitation centers in the United States.
