Course overview
People with cognitive impairment struggle with poor intellectual functioning and have difficulty communicating and understanding what others are saying to them. Confusion sets in and they can become disoriented to person, place, situation and time. While each person is unique, those who are cognitively impaired lack organized thought processes and the ability to establish progressive personal goals. Working with a client who has a significant degree of cognitive impairment can be difficult. This course looks at the causes of cognitive impairment and how to deal with clients who are cognitively-impaired. Get Unlimited CEUs for only $19.99 at cnaZone.com.
