Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias amongst the elderly continue to rise, an increasing number of elderly with these diagnoses are likely to be admitted to nursing homes. Current medical research provides support for non-pharmacological interventions over pharmacological treatment to maintain functional independence levels and delay progression of disease in this population. Research on perspectives of persons with neurocognitive disorders highlights abilities to exress needs and preferences, and the desire to participate in meaningful occupations. Thus, utilizing evidence-based and occupation-focused intervention will enable the occupational therapy profession to remain competent and relevant in today's healthcare environment, where reimbursement is contingent upon quality care. This paper describes the creation of a continuing education workshop with a "toolbox" of evidence-based and occupation-focused interventions accessible for occupational therapy professionals who provide services to people with neurocognitive disorders and their caregivers in a nursing home setting. The American Occupational Therapy Association's Centennial Vision and the recent Vision 2025 will inform the workshop in promoting occupational therapy within the nursing home community. The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, third edition, will form the basis of the occupational therapy process described in the workshop.

Download or read book Cognition Occupation Across the Life Span written by Noomi Katz and published by Amer Occupational Therapy Assn. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognition is central to everyday life. It is impossible to live independently without higher order functions of planning, organization, attention, memory, and awareness. Problems with these functions are seen in many clients treated by occupational therapists. Individuals with higher order cognitive impairments require specific strategies that are central to occupation-based, client-centered care to maintain themselves, interact in families, work, go to school, and actively engage in community life. Occupational therapists' focus on learning and cognition as it supports everyday life is what defines the profession's uniqueness in its approach to care. This is a must-have book for both the classroom and the clinic that will help occupational therapy professionals understand behaviors, translate cognitive neuroscience into practice, and figure out how to tell parents and caregivers what has happened to their loved ones and then how to best support their behaviors to achieve successful performance and participation in their daily lives. The authors have translated the latest cognitive neuroscience developments into interventions that occupational therapists can use to enhance the performance and quality of life of those they serve.
