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 Many current practices are outdated and no longer evidence-based, but now therapists have access to the 2023 Guidelines to help them plan and implement engaging, evidence-based cognitive therapy.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:
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.

Memory not part of provided supplemental material A fantastic course with great comprehensive review. As much of "what works" is targeted at patients with mild-moderate TBI, provision of a greater range of examples/options for treatment with patients with severe TBI and profound physical limitations would be helpful

Great course.

Super helpful to have an explanation to all of these items vs. just reading and trying to decode the guidelines on your own.

The content was for low level patients that is difficult to translate to higher functioning patients

Nikki had such knowledge and demonstrated this in her excellent presentation of her information. Her organization and ease in speaking were apparent. This was a great educational experience and a course I enjoyed very much.

I like how the presenter integrated a collaborative approach to treating this patient population working with the entire rehab team. The medication section was very interesting and gave me insight into the stages of the pt's TBI recovery.

Thank you!!

I wish there was more applicable examples; e.g., "at the acute level this could be this task whereas at the outpatient level it might look like this"

Any examples of treatment sessions/activities (such as the laundry dual tasking reference) may prove to be extremely useful for therapists who are transitioning away from rote tasks and expanding their treatment tasks/strategies. As someone who is constantly looking for next activities, any examples are always helpful.
