This dynamic and interactive training will increase your ability to identify and intervene with cognitive/memory decline/deficits related to the aging process, concussions, cerebral vascular accidents, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury and early stage Alzheimer’s. Gain insight into the wealth of evidence-based resource information available for patient/caregiver education. Learn to objectively assess medication management and address concerns related to driving ability. Identify the role of the hippocampus related to memory issues and intervention strategies to address deficits. Take away the ONE intervention that provides the greatest impact to improve cognitive/memory deficits.

1. Differentiate between normal and abnormal cognitive/memory deficits throughout the aging process.
2. Justify how frontal lobe/executive functions relate to cognitive/memory ability.
3. Appraise evidence-based resources related to memory/cognitive impairment that can be used for patient/caregiver education.

Cognitive and Memory Decline/Deficits

• Aging process, concussions, cerebral vascular accidents, TBI and early stage Alzheimer’s
• Normal vs. abnormal cognitive/memory deficits 
• Stages of cognitive/memory deficits 
• Interventions for each stage

Executive Function and Cognitive/Memory Ability

• Frontal lobe/Executive function
• Impact on again on FL/EF function
• Relate EF/FL to functional deficits

Evidence based Resources for cognitive impairment 

• Review of available valid/evidence based resources
• Medication management
• Concerns related to driving ability 
• Patient/caregiver education
