If you could use some new ideas, then this fun and active seminar is perfect for you. This program presents over 100 functional interventions, strategies and adult appropriate therapy apps for patients needing language and cognitive re-training in the areas of stroke, brain injury, dementia and other neurologically impaired adults.
Functional cognitive therapy is more purposeful!
- Patients, family and team members will see the validity in your program choices.
- Learn how team members can work together through “functional themes” when co-treating is not allowed.
- It can be difficult finding purposeful activities for older patients who don’t have hobbies or household responsibilities. This course is the solution for this problem.
Multiple strategies will be presented that can be customized for every patient’s plan. If you work with impacted patients or patients with higher executive functioning skills, this course will position you to work with them and their family more effectively.
