Course Description

Evaluation and treatment of cognitive deficits can often be some of the most challenging diagnoses to address because of what seems to be infinite variables. This course focuses on the many factors associated with learning for the cognitively impaired patients who suffer from head injuries, stroke and dementia. Fundamental information includes anatomy and physiology of cognition, clinical neurotransmitters that affect cognition, different types of memory, medications that affect cognition and evidence-based practice access. The instructor will also address cognitive evaluations, goal writing, environmental adaptations, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and the MCI training program. Specific direct cognitive interventions to improve attention, memory, executive function, and visual-spatial functions will be discussed in detail. The importance of correct diagnosis and staging will be emphasized along with staging training. This course, taught by one of the great experts in the field, will help you to narrow your plan to deliver the best patient-specific cognitive rehabilitation care.

    Reviews

    There was a lot of specific product promotion instead of generalized skills/or material types to use with patients. I think it would be more effective to provide general skills and materials and just add in programs/products that are recommended to allow the clinician a broader way to address treatment.

    - Marion, IN / Jan 2025

    I really appreciated the medication discussions, dementia staging, and computer/app-assisted learning. These are areas I've long been curious about but it has been a challenge to find CEUs that dive into these areas in more depth--great course, thanks so much! :)

    - Spokane, WA / Oct 2024

    Excellent presentation. Very informative

    - Altadena, CA / Jun 2024

    Dedicate more time to they types of Memory. Repeat definitions and provide more examples. Thank you

    - Methuen, MA / May 2024

    Great information and resources

    - Loma Linda, CA / Feb 2024

    Dr. Johnson was fantastic. He really knew this information so well. It was great when he gave examples of patients and situations he had encountered in his practics.

    - New York, NY / Aug 2023

    Thank you for this excellent and practical presentation!

    - Wilmington, NC / Jul 2023

    Great course! Really enjoyed Dr. Peter Johnson and his presentation!

    - Cleveland Heights, OH / Jul 2023

    Great course!

    - Chattanooga , TN / May 2023

    great course, thank you

    - Wilmington, DE / Jan 2023

    excellent course; would recommend.

    - Green Bay, WI / Oct 2022

    Great course!

    - Staunton, VA / Jun 2021

    Large print size on handout would be much more helpful. appreciate the handout out greatly!

    - JACKSONVILLE, FL / Jan 2021

    This was a very informative and enjoyable course. The only suggestion I would make is to have a more designated question and answer period as allowing questions during the entire course of the workshop tended to be a distraction and halted the progress of the workshop.

    - Alamogordo, NM / Jan 2021

    Excellent course for dementia or Alzheimer's. I would like to attend a course for cognition and how it effects TBI more specifically and get some good therapy strategies, activities and assistance with goal writing for this population

    - St augustine, FL / Oct 2020

    This is probably one of my favorite course I have taken! Peter Johnson is not only informative but he is able to present the material in an interesting and relatable way to keep you engaged and interested!

    - Cleveland, TN / Dec 2019

    i would have liked less technology, and more examples of strategies or cheaper/free options used for treating our patients. We are given nothing in SNFs. So these programs are few and far between!

    - Keyport, NJ / Dec 2019

    Excellent!!!

    - McGregor, TX / Jun 2019

    Great course

    - San Antonio, TX / Mar 2019
