Using Everyday Technologies to Support Communication & Cognition


Barbara has a secret. She is starting to experience cognitive failures -- forgetting events, struggling with names, and becoming overwhelmed in complex, social contexts. She wants to remain active with her community and grandchildren, but she needs support, and she doesn’t want anyone outside of her close family to know that she’s struggling.

This recording will show you how to help patients like Barbara. Discover universally designed technologies that support cognitive and functional outcomes without making patients stand out from their peers. Topics include social networking, peer support, self-management of cognitive-communication rehabilitation, communication supports, external memory aids, training, and individual modifications.
