Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting 1% of people worldwide. It has been recorded that cognitive deficits like attention, memory, executive functioning are affected. Of late, cognitive remedial tasks have been devised to minimize these cognitive deficits, which affect the quality of life in these patients. The cognitive deficits were assessed using a cognitive functioning battery. An individual program was tailored and final assessment was done using the cognitive functioning battery. The cognitive deficits were improved after 45 days remedial program, thus improving the quality of life of these patients.
