Abstract Intermediate Level
Individuals suffering from acquired cognitive changes are often struggling to understand, cope and manage their persistent deficits. More than half of patients with mTBI often go unidentified or undiagnosed in hospital Emergency Departments. Patients who go undiagnosed may be at a higher risk for a complicated recovery. This “Miserable Minority” often feel isolated and unsupported by medical professionals, family membesr and colleagues. Speech-Language Pathologists are ideal candidates in providing holistic services to help these individuals achieve improvement and satisfying outcomes. Learn how to identify impaired cognitive processes, treat with engaging approaches and bring hope to this population.
Learning Objectives: After completion of this course the participants will be able to:
Identify assessments that are available to help identify subtle impaired processes.
State new resources and strategies to address an individual’s impaired processes.
Discuss the scope of this populations’ needs and how best to meet them.
