• Differentiation of Dementias
• Etiology of Various Dementias
• Staging Dementia & Clinical Interventions
• System Models of Memory & Their Relationship to Dementia
• Medicare Compliance, Medical Necessity & Jimmo v. Sebelius
• Evidenced-based Direct & Indirect Therapeutic Interventions

The variables associated with learning for patients with cognitive impairments are the focus of the workshop. You will learn how to differentiate your patients and how to stage them. For successful intervention, take away therapeutic approaches based on the patient’s diagnosis and stage level. The seminar will give you evidence-based interventions to help you find the right approach for each patient. You will learn how to fully comply with the recent Medicare policies and how these changes will affect treatment of your patients.

There are some key benefits.

• Differentiate cortical and sub-cortical, static and dynamic, and reversible cognitive impairment
• Determine the patient’s stages of dementia to modify intervention practices
• Differentiate the forms of memory and the dementia diagnosis associated with each form
• Document cognitive therapy for adult patients with dementia in accordance with Medicare guidelines
• Utilize peer reviewed research regarding treatment strategies
• Explain environmental adaptations utilized for the patient with dementia
• Utilize visual cues during therapy to facilitate memory
• Understand Jimmo v. Sebelius implications for therapy

1. Communicate the differences between cortical and sub-cortical dementias.
2. Evaluate and accurately stage the patient with cognitive impairment to inform clinical treatment interventions.
3. Discriminate the forms of memory and the dementia diagnosis associated with each form.
4. Utilize an appropriate iPad® application for cognitive therapy.
5. Articulate one functional long-term goal and two functional short-term goals for cognitive therapy.
6. Implement the appropriate therapeutic intervention strategies for different cognitive impairments.
