Course Description

A Lot Has Changed in Cognitive Therapy—Have You?
In the past decade, cognitive therapy for adult patients has evolved, and the INCOG 2023 Guidelines provide essential tools for planning more functional, effective therapy. This course dives deep into the latest evidence-based practices while reviewing outdated techniques that no longer work. You'll also explore medications that can support therapy goals and make informed decisions for patients with neurological injuries. Update your skills to deliver the most affective cognitive treatment approaches.  Sign up now to stay ahead!

There’s a growing disconnect between evidence and action in cognitive therapy. Many current practices are outdated and no longer evidence-based, but now therapists have access to the 2023 Guidelines to help them plan and implement engaging, evidence-based cognitive therapy.

An expert panel of clinicians and researchers, known as INCOG, developed guidelines for treating TBI patients based on the latest research. This course dives into these updated guidelines, equipping therapists with the tools they need to deliver evidence-based cognitive therapy. A lot has changed in the last decade, and these guidelines provide essential help in planning more functional, effective therapy.

INCOG 2.0 outlines five key domains for cognitive therapy:

  • Posttraumatic Amnesia
  • Attention and Information Processing
  • Executive Functions
  • Cognitive-Communication and Social Cognition Disorders
  • Memory

This course will explore specific evidence-based therapy interventions for each domain, as well as reviewing old therapy practices that have been proven ineffective. You’ll also learn about medications that can assist physicians in decision-making, and audit tools to ensure the most critical interventions are being implemented in your practice.

This course is ideal for any healthcare provider targeting cognition in adults with neurological injuries.
