Patients with Cognitive Impairment Provide Unique Challenges for Physical and Occupational Therapists
Patients with cognitive impairment often have difficulty with functional activities as well as learning or relearning behaviors in the clinic. These patients provide unique challenges for physical and occupational therapists, but there are interventions that can help overcome limitations and maximize patient outcomes. In this webinar, participants will learn many techniques designed to enhance attention and concentration during treatment sessions and maximize the patient's ability to learn new skills and strategies. When patients are unable to make new declarative memories, we need to dramatically alter the approach. We will discuss how to determine the patient's ability and customize the approach to maximize treatment efficacy in cognitively impaired patients. Finally, attendees will be given dozens of ready–to–use cognitive rehabilitation activities designed to enhance targeted cognitive abilities.
