OTH 828 : OT AND ADULT NEUROLOGIC COND

In this course, students will understand, analyze, and implement occupationally-based theories and evidence-based approaches to the care of adults with neurologic conditions. OT practice among adults with cerebral vascular accidents, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative diseases will be explored. Additionally, OT practice related to common impairments including cognition, communication, dysphagia, visual-perceptual function, and motor control will be discussed. Current evidence is used to inform the selected approaches for assessment and intervention across the continuum of care.
