Jane Yakel – Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy: Practical Interventions & Personalized Planning

Jane Yakel – Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy: Practical Interventions & Personalized PlanningDescriptionThe United States is facing a situation without precedent: more than 16 million people are living with cognitive impairments and the World-Health Organization estimates that the number will increase to over 30 million by the year 2050, with fewer and fewer people available to care for them. Successful cognitive rehabilitation is crucial to improving overall quality of life—for the patient, family, and caregiver.In this innovative recording, you will receive instruction in 101 evidence-based techniques, strategies and interventions for all levels of cognitive impairment. Whether a patient presents with a mild or severe cognitive impairment, this seminar teaches which approach to take and which avenue of interventions to pursue. You will be presented with techniques that will change the brain’s neuroplasticity, as well as offer compensatory strategies, and/or enhance a patient’s procedure memory. This recording emphasizes the importance and effectiveness of creating highly individualized treatment strategies and provides attendees with the needed skills to choose and adapt techniques into tailored, personalized therapy plans. Active case studies will be examined and participants will learn to design a patient profile with therapy interventions and goal documentation.HandoutsManual – Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (5.02 MB) 108 Pages Available after PurchaseOutlineCRUCIAL ELEMENTS FOR TREATING THE COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMEMT OF:Self-Awareness: Diagnose levels of, and treatment for patient awareness/insight and acceptanceSelf-Efficacy: Identify four major sources to increase patients self-beliefOwnership: Interventions to increase patient participation and engagementMeaningful Therapy Theory: Making therapy personal!Patient self-rating scalesCOGNITIVE THERAPEUTIC APPROACHESDirect therapyIndirect therapyPatient-centeredNEUROSCIENCE APPROACHES TO THE MEMORY SYSTEMSDeclarative/Explicit/ConsciousNon-Declarative/Implicit/UnconsciousWork within the correct memory system for diagnosesMEDICARE COMPLIANCE/MEDICAL NECESSITY/GOAL WRITING/DAILY DOCUMENTATIONComponents of a defensible, skilled goalDaily skilled terminologyMeasuring progress and justifying medical necessityCHANGING NEUROPLASTICITYDirect Therapeutic Intervention for High-Level Cognitive ImpairmentAttention Systems: Essential for learningSelective AttentionFocused AttentionSustained AttentionDivided AttentionDirected AttentionShifting AttentionVisual Processing Systems and How to Maintain ThemVisual CognitionVisual MemoryPattern RecognitionScanningVisual AttentionOculomotor SkillsVisual FieldsVisual AcuityInformation Processing Systems:Relating them to functionProcessing SpeedProcessing ControlProcessing CapacityMemory Interventions for Neuroplasticity Changes in the BrainMethod of LociVisual ImageryChunkingAssociationMental OrganizationLinkingElaborationMemory Interventions for Compensation InterventionsAcronyms, AcrosticsRhymes, Rhythms, RoteRehearsal and Curve of ForgettingDIRECT THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS FOR DEGENERATIVE NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES/DEMENTIASpaced Retrieval TherapyErrorless Learning TechniquesMontessori-Based TherapyAbility-Based Approaches/TherapyReminiscence TherapyMemory Books/AidsAllen Cognitive TechniquesMedicationsDIRECT THERAPEUTIC INTEVENTIONS FOR PATIENT COMMUNICATIONValidation TherapyRedirecting TherapyReflective ListeningINTERACTIVE CASE STUDIESFacultyJane Yakel, M.S., CCC-SLPSpeech-Language PathologistAmerican Speech-Language-Hearing AssociationJane Yakel, M.S.
