Objectives
[+] [-] 073825 - Cognitive Rehabilitation: Therapy ... therapy ... therapy!
  1. Discuss how to bridge the gap from philosophy to practice, and from paper-pencil therapeutic task to daily functioning activity, by identifying the underpinnings of the different systems and processes of cognition.
  2. Discuss specific “Art of Memory” techniques and strategies (utilized by World Memory Championship competitors) to design specific therapeutic tasks that can create a structural change in memory.
  3. Identify the critical role that awareness deficits play in contributing to rehabilitation outcomes and discuss the interventions and techniques that facilitate awareness and guide the patient to independent functioning.
  4. Summarize the components of executive functions and discuss how these components are contingent upon other cognitive processes that manifest cognitive and behavioral disorders.
  5. Define step-by-step therapeutic intervention techniques specifically designed for progressive neurological diseases and low-level cognitive patients.
  6. Identify the components of a defendable skilled goal and discuss what medically defines a skilled from a non-skilled intervention.
  7. Evaluate the role of self-efficacy and ownership and the principles needed to have the patient ultimately responsible for the treatment program.
  8. Discuss caregiver training techniques, communication strategies and guidelines for patient intervention ultimately affecting therapeutic outcomes.
  9. Recall specific therapeutic approaches for cognitive intervention with respect to specific medical diagnosis.
