Additionally, the foundation of their defined yet dynamic approach lies in well-established principles of neuroplasticity. Some of these principles, which not only address immediate symptoms but also promote long-term brain changes include intensity, repetition, specificity, complexity, and saliency.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common cause of progressive dementia, impacting an estimated 1.4 million people in the United States. Despite the condition’s prevalence, LBD is the most often misdiagnosed type of dementia, and is misunderstood by many clinicians.
