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. Purchasers of the print book receive free access to online content with the book - all instructions included in the book.
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.
