Description
Techniques to Slow, and Even Reverse, Memory Problems
Millions of older adults are suffering from impaired memory and attention. These deficits can affect where people can live, how much support they will need, and their quality of life. Although recent research has found that memory enhancement interventions are effective at preventing further decline and improving memory abilities, these resources are not widely available to professionals who work with older adults or people who have experienced traumatic brain injury. In addition, very recent research has found that physical exercise, nutritional changes, and social support interventions can improve cognitive ability and quality of life. Once again, however, the necessary resources have not always trickled down to the people who can use them.
In this cutting-edge recording, you will learn up-to-date information about memory, aging, and dementia. Learn how to implement evidence-based interventions to slow, or even reverse, memory problems. Gain web access to over 300 cognitive rehabilitation activities and social support interventions for community settings. Most of these activities and interventions are appropriate for people who want to be proactive in preventing memory loss as well as those who have mild cognitive impairment, early stage dementia, or cognitive deficits after a stroke. Learn how to take advantage of preserved cognitive abilities that allow even mid-stage dementia patients to learn new skills. Finally, learn how to motivate their apathetic and unmotivated residents and patients so you can take advantage of these breakthroughs.
