Stroke Recovery Strategies June 16 webinar by Anysia Ensslen-Boggs, Ed.D., M.S., CCC-SLP

Looking at the objectives and outline there is nothing on recovery protocols to use, so in my opinion, worthless.

Stroke Recovery Strategies June 16 webinar by Anysia Ensslen-Boggs, Ed.D., M.S., CCC-SLP

 

• Learning Objectives

1. Identify various etiologies of cognitive deficits as they relate to the neuroanatomy of strokes.
2. Define principles of experience-dependent neuroplasticity and its impact on rehabilitation.
3. Select appropriate screenings and assessments to informally and formally evaluate cognitive deficits.
4. Explain how various cognitive impairments impact the patient's ability to meet transdisciplinary treatment objectives.
5. Implement treatment techniques for orientation, short-term memory, safety awareness, and executive functioning forfunctional improvement of ADL's across all therapydisciplines.
6. Compose measurable goals that allow for documentation of patient outcomes.
