Interventions for Dementia, Memory & More

Plus, keeping up with the ever-changing evidence on assessment and interventions is daunting — your previous training programs may already be obsolete.
With our new online course, Cognitive Therapy, you will learn how to prioritize treatment sessions to focus on functional deficits caused by memory and cognitive changes such as inattention, executive dysfunction, depression and more. Gain a clear understanding of your patient’s behavioral characteristics, how to organize their diagnosis into a manageable program, and establish realistic goals to guide their therapy effectively.

Cognitive Rehabilitation: Therapeutic Strategies for Effective Intervention
In Module 1, we will revisit applications of anatomy and physiology to everyday practice, affirm relevance of current-effective clinical practices, and adapt new practices supported by contemporary evidence. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience and more than 10 years of teaching, Jerry Hoepner, PhD, CCC-SLP, will teach you how to systematically understand the anatomy of each component of the cognitive-communication system and move quickly into specific management techniques for intervention. Walk away with a concrete understanding to:
- Connect behavioral manifestations with specific cognitive and/or linguistic disorders.
- Characterize the attributes of executive functions and explain their connection to other cognitive processes.
- Formulate functional short-term and long-term patient goals for the remediation of cognitive-linguistic impairments.
- Integrate the appropriate therapy tasks, exercises and games in patient treatment programs.
- And so much more...
