Functional cognition describes the ability to participate in
everyday activities, combining the constructs of function and
cognition. Substantial literature now exists to support assessment
and intervention methods for functional-cognitive deficits, and
policymakers are increasingly requiring improved methods to track
functional cognition and address it across health changes. This is
the first comprehensive text to focus on methods to assess and
develop interventions for people with functional-cognitive
impairments. Numerous videos, practical how-to information,
theoretical bases, OTPF-3 alignment, and current evidence guide
students and clinicians in integrating assessment information into
the context of clinical care. Readers can immediately apply what
they learn to those with whom they work. Highlights Include-
Section I. Foundations. 2 chapters provide context to define
functional cognition and outline occupational therapy's specific
role in working with people with cognitive loss, including current
policy considerations related to implementing strategies and
reimbursement. Section II. Assessment. 14 chapters cover the
principles of functional-cognitive assessment; describe
performance-based ADL and IADL assessment tools in detail,
including development, components, administration, scoring, and
interpretation; and discuss how to use assessment information to
develop a treatment plan. Section III. Intervention. 5 chapters
discuss learning and transfer and how to select an intervention
framework most appropriate for clients based on their assessment
results. Several approaches are presented, each with background,
components, treatment planning, and video demonstrations for use in
practice. The section is followed by an appendix with case examples
that guide readers in administering and interpreting assessments,
selecting an intervention approach, developing a treatment plan,
administering the treatment, and tracking progress and outcomes.

This publication and Self-Paced Clinical Course aims to assist
occupational therapists to further develop their clinical
competency in working with adults with TBI. Features include
"Points to Ponder," a glossary, and case studies. This third volume
in AOTA's Neurorehabilitation in Occupational Therapy Series can
serve as a textbook for advanced-level occupational therapy
students and assist in skill development for practicing clinicians.
The Self-Paced Clinical Course is the 2nd Edition of the Traumatic
Brain Injury module published in Core Concepts in
Neurorehabilitation (2006).
Full consideration is given in this book to the use of rational
pharmacological approaches as part of an integrated
behavioural/cognitive behavioural approach, to maximize
opportunities for learning and skills training. The authors argue
that a consistent behavioural/cognitive behavioural approach can
help patients to optimize their functional ability despite
cognitive deficits and they also show that behaviour disorders need
not stand in the way of useful functional skills training.
