Functional Cognition & Vision/Perception: The Adult Patient with Brain Injury and Stroke

Held at: St. Luke's Hospital - Jacksonville, Florida
Instructor: Judy Hamby, MHS, OTR/LCOURSE DESCRIPTION

Recognizing when and how vision / perception and cognition are impaired is critical in the rehab process, and managed care environment. Treating effectively is utmost to achieve the best outcomes. This course includes an in depth perspective of individual abilities to perform functional tasks as mediated by the ability to accurately interpret the environment. This course also instructs the therapist in how to formulate functional and inexpensive evaluation and treatment strategies including the use of everyday objects. Participants receive a functional, reimbursable model that includes vision, perception, and cognition, through multi-media lecture, case studies and experiential activities. The combination of lecture, demonstration and a significant amount of lab practice prepares the participant to apply the learned information and skills immediately upon return to the clinic setting. (Note: The course manual includes several succinct function-based forms that will shorten documentation time, an increase efficiency.)
