Description
Course Format: Downloadable handouts that follow along with the seminar audio files (which can be listened to online or downloaded as mp3 files). This E-Course was originally recorded in front of a live audience in April 2011.
This clinical seminar will focus on best practice for developing functional communication skills for persons with speech and language deficits related to right hemisphere damage, TBI and language/cognitive loss related to dementia including Alzheimer's dementia. While pragmatics will be the focus of the seminar, participants will also be given a rationale to support each intervention. The material presented will provide participants with a clear understanding of the variables (memory systems, type of stimuli, complexity of stimuli) that need to be maipulated during the treatment process to ensure functional outcomes. Participants will also learn how proper management of these variables can reduce patient stress and fatigue during a treatment session.
Please note: This eCourse is set up to be flexible to accomodate all schedules. You do not have to complete this program in one sitting. You can access the course materials as many times as you need to in order to complete all the sections. Course ObjectivesAt e-course conclusion, participants will be able to: 1. State a problematic behavior associated with frontal lobe damage that needs to be addressed in treatment planning for patients with TBI.
2. State an evidence-based intervention for problems in task initiation for patients with TBI. 3. State a unique characteristic of a client presenting with Alzheimer's disease. 4. State an evidence-based intervention for vascular dementia. 5. Describe two treatments for aprosodia. 6. List three types of treatment for visuospatial neglect.
