What is a "mild" or "moderate" neurocognitive impairment?

The Plan uses very specific definitions for "mild" and "moderate" neurocognitive impairment and relies on neurologists and neuropsychologists to apply them in the cases of specific Players.  Neuropsychologists measure a person's cognitive abilities - such as the ability to think and respond to stimuli - using a battery of tests designed for that purpose.

​

Mild Neurocognitive Impairment:
The Plan defines a mild neurocognitive impairment as a mild objective impairment in one or more domains of neurocognitive functioning which reflect acquired brain dysfunction, nut not severe enough to interfere with your ability to independently perform complex activities of daily living or to engage in any occupation for remuneration or profit.

​

Moderate Neurocognitive Impairment:
The Plan defines moderate neurocognitive impairment as a mild-moderate objective impairment in two or more domains of neurocognitive functioning which reflect acquired brain dysfunction and which may require use of compensatory strategies and/or accommodations in order to independently perform complex activities of daily living or to engage in any occupation for remuneration profit.
