Course Description:

Do you have children or adults in your caseload who are unable to retain and maintain gains made during treatment?

The therapy works, the client shows progress, but weeks later you are still trying to get him to maintain the changes.

This course will review the psychology and neurology of memory and memory disorders as they present in our clinical caseloads with a primary emphasis on how to augment retention and carryover of intervention.

New research on the organization of memory and how treatment approaches can utilize this new research to enhance both the process of learning and compensatory approaches for aiding retention in adults with TBI and other neurological problems as well as with children
with memory problems, attentional problems,
specific language impairment (SLI) and learning disabilities that interfere with the therapeutic process.

What course participants say:

"Anyone who works with patients with cognitive or neurologic deficits must take this course. The info. applies to every facet of OT/PT/SLP. She is a dynamic speaker in which her passion makes even boring material exciting! Never a dull moment. This course also allows you to look at your own abilities and limitations and how to work on them, and how those limitations may effect your treatment approach."
