ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE
Presented by: Kelsey Watters
Functional cognition describes how a person uses and applies their thinking and processing skills to accomplish everyday activities in real world environments (AOTA, 2019). For many people receiving rehabilitation services after an illness or injury, their ability to adapt to physical and cognitive changes to participate in meaningful occupations may be compromised. Cognitive impairment is associated with longer hospitalizations (e.g., Fogg et al., 2019), higher frequency of long-term disability (e.g., Pandharipande et al., 2014), and decreased performance of and participation in occupations (AOTA, 2019). Clients with cognitive impairment can more successfully perform and participate in meaningful occupations when supported with specific cueing strategies that align with their functional cognitive presentation (Mazzola et al., 2018).
To support use of evidence-based practice strategies within clinical settings, this webinar will review the intervention strategies to address cognitive impairment. Participants will be introduced to a framework that simplifies the cueing interventions available to facilitate the use of these strategies within their clinical practice.
After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to:
