Case Management
Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure/Sorting Therapy (CREST) provides training in compensatory cognitive strategies to address the executive dysfunction typical of individuals with HD, then helps reduce the distress associated with discarding items via exposure therapy.
Case Management (CM). CM is the most widely available and utilized intervention for HD and is considered standard of care.
