Description
Patient loads and work expectations ever increase. Maximizing knowledge of neuroanatomy and dysfunction will assist in the selection of the most appropriate tests and programs to target challenges to patient progress. This session has been specifically designed to dive into site-specific changes within the brain that affect behavior and thinking skills. Being able to predict patient barriers to engagement and compliance also helps clinicians to train to each patient’s individual needs. Through a comprehensive discussion across disciplines, this course will highlight the essentials every clinician needs to confidently face their cognitively impaired client.
