Cognition

Supporting occupational therapy practice for productive aging and cognition

As an occupational therapist, you know that daily living skills can present a challenge to individuals with cognitive impairment. You help these clients take advantage of their cognitive strengths and learn new ways to perform day-to-day tasks so they can take pride in achieving greater self-reliance.
