CEU Course Description

In the realm of evidence-based cognitive interventions, there is a lot of information that is revolutionizing cognitive rehabilitation for a range of professionals. Occupational therapists, in particular, have a vast amount of knowledge to draw from. Evolving technology continued advances in the fields of rehabilitation and neuroscience, and changing intervention practices all allow OTs to treat patients with cognitive disorders effectively.  In some settings, therapists may feel there are blurred lines between their role in cognitive rehabilitation and the scope of practice of other professionals related to cognition. It’s essential for therapists to remember that all cognitive rehabilitation should be connected back to functional performance and skill development. This is not only how OTs can differentiate their services from those of other professionals, but this is also the primary way OTs operate across various practice areas. Cognitive rehabilitation from a trained occupational therapist can support patient safety, independence, and recovery from injury and improve the quality of life for individuals with neurocognitive disorders.

CEU Course Objectives

1. Identify OT’s scope of practice in cognitive rehabilitation, including the two main approaches most professionals use during cognitive rehabilitation therapy.
2. Define the four components of cognitive rehabilitation therapy and offer examples based on OT’s scope of practice.
3. Summarize what the evidence says about the efficacy of various cognitive interventions.
