Advanced Practice Course III

Description from DukeHub

In this 5-week course, students use the occupational therapy process to assess cognition and reduce/increase cognitive load through remediation and compensatory approaches. The course reviews activity analysis and occupational performance analysis, with particular attention to identifying process skills and mental functions. While the course primarily addresses cognitive rehabilitation and habilitation, the process is applicable to optimizing all client factors such as motor skills, visual skills, and others. Students provide interventions that are occupation-based, grounded in evidence, and culturally competent.
