Agenda

Description

This course is derived from the textbook by Glen Gillen “Cognitive and Perceptual Rehabilitation: Optimizing Function” ©2009. The text reflects current practice with a renewed focus on function-based assessments and evidence-based interventions. Cognitive and Perceptual Rehabilitation: Optimizing Function includes all of the tools you need to make a positive impact on your patients' lives. The text summarizes, highlights, and constructively critiques the state of cognitive and perceptual rehabilitation. The goal is to help you enhance your patients' quality of life by promoting improved performance of necessary and meaningful activities, and decreasing participation restrictions.
Module 3: Managing Visuospatial Impairment/Apraxia/Unilateral Neglect covers chapter 3, 5 and 6.
Chapter 3: Managing Visuospatial Impairments to Optimize Function
Chapter 5: Managing Apraxia to Optimize Function
Chapter 6: Managing Unilateral Neglect to Optimize Function
