Treatment of Functional Cognition Part 2: Strategy Training

Course overview

This course explores metacognitive strategy training (MST) as an evidence-based intervention for adults with mild to moderate functional cognitive deficits. Occupational therapy practitioners will learn to facilitate the use of strategies, guided performance analysis, and structured cuing to improve client participation in meaningful daily activities. Emphasis is placed on generalization and transfer of strategies across settings and occupations, as well as tailoring intervention to individual levels of awareness and learning capacity. Through case examples and practical applications, therapists will build skills to design effective, client-centered interventions that promote lasting change. This course is relevant for OT practitioners in outpatient, home health, and inpatient rehabilitation settings.
