Title: Evaluation and Treatment of Cognitive -Perceptual Problems: A Function-Based Approach.
Choosing an assessment tool that will be useful in guiding treatment for your client with cognitive-perceptual impairments can be challenging. This workshop will enable you to select the most appropriate tools to determine effective treatment strategies, prioritize goals
and predict outcomes for your clients in all practice settings (neurorehabilitation, pediatrics, mental health, home care etc.) Assessments that use relevant occupations to identify impairments will be highlighted.

Day Two will address best practices for treatment of adult-onset apraxia (with a focus on ideational and ideomotor/motor/apraxia) and neglect syndromes.

Specific concepts to be discussed include:
•applied neuroanatomy & neurophysiology
• neurologic processing models to aid in clinical reasoning
• signs and symptoms
• differentiating between impairments (ex. primary visual deficits versus neglect; ideational versus motor apraxia; comprehension deficits versus ideational apraxia, etc)
• discussion of evidence based intervention strategies.
