A one-day course for Occupational Therapists.

This workshop will be suitable for clinicians working with people with acquired brain injuries e.g. stroke and head injuries. After the workshop, you will have a good understanding of cognition, be able to identify difficulties in cognition within function and where to focus your screening, assessment and intervention.

• To understand the concepts of attention, implicit and explicit memory, and executive functioning – recognising these in function and how they present in occupational performance
• To recognise and analyse underlying cognitive deficits from different screening tools and assessments
• To decide on an intervention approach and intervention strategies (restorative, compensatory or education), taking into consideration the underlying cognitive impairments within both hospital and community environments
