Rehabilitating Your Approach: Maximizing Outcomes In Patients With Cognitive Impairment, Depression, And Dementia

Course overview

Cognitive impairment directly impacts all functional activities, from speaking to dressing to walking. Relearning these activities can be challenging for both geriatric and cognitively impaired patients. For successful outcomes, these patients need an individualized approach that addresses their specific cognitive abilities. This course was developed to help rehabilitation professionals individualize their approach for each patient, with focused consideration on the patient's abilities and barriers. The approaches presented will be supported by research and will focus on improving functional independence in communication, mobility, and ADLs.
