PP8722 - Neuropsychological Interventions1.5 credit hour(s)
Neuropsychological intervention is an important aspect of the treatment of patients with cognitive and emotional dysfunctions due to brain injury resulting from stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), neurodevelopmental disorders, dementia, genetic dysfunctions and exposure to neurotoxic solvents. This course provides coverage to interventions designed to aid patients with cognitive impairments in the areas of memory, attention, learning and memory, visuoperception, language, apraxia, and executive functions. Specific attention will be paid to the role of the psychologist in a multidisciplinary team. In addition, attention is given to the implications of neurological disorders on social and emotional difficulties. The course is presented in a framework for developing, delivering, and evaluating services that target these specific areas of functioning while promoting the individual’s overall adaptation and recovery. Topics also address the importance of multidimensional assessment, provide best practice guidelines for clinical research, and discuss the role of pharmacotherapy in cognitive rehabilitation.
