Individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, can significantly benefit from CST. This therapy slows cognitive decline, enhancing cognitive skills.

CST can be delivered in group sessions (group CST) or individual sessions (individual cognitive stimulation). The group sessions often involve small groups of people engaging in themed activities, providing a platform for social interaction and mental stimulation.

CST sessions are typically designed around themed activities that stimulate cognitive abilities. These activities may range from discussions. Puzzle-soling to multi-sensory experiences. A reality orientation board is commonly used in sessions to help participants keep track of time, date, and place.
