Description
Advances in assistive technology over the past 10 years have positively impacted the lives of individuals diagnosed with dementia. In this course, you will learn how technology can assist people with dementia to live safer and longer in their own homes and community, allowing them to engage in meaningful activities, while vastly improving their quality of life. This course discusses how dementia is diagnosed, the role of the rehab professional, and introduces assessment tools for the therapist. Assistive technologies that work to maximize cognition (orientation, memory, organization), mobility, as well as physical, social, and visual needs are explored, as well as the concept of the “Cyber Senior” and the power of music. Video clips and case studies enhance this course and are used to further clarify how the use of technology can truly benefit those living with dementia. Future concepts of how our aging population can flourish rather than struggle is a key concept that is emphasized in this valuable and comprehensive course for both PT and OT clinicians. This is a must course for all rehab therapists working in geriatrics!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------COURSE OBJECTIVES--- After studying these course materials, the rehab clinician should be able to: 1. Define dementia, list illnesses that can mimic dementia, and identify causes of dementia. 2. Recall how dementia is diagnosed. 3. Identify and explain the varied cognitive tools used to identify current abilities and needs, as well as effectively “stage” the cognitive abilities of individuals. 4. Demonstrate a working knowledge of different technologies that assist the overall needs of this population both in the home and in the community. 5. Demonstrate a working knowledge of technologies that will work to maximize cognitive, physical, mobility and visual needs of an elderly population. 6. Identify how these assistive technology tools can be used to further develop social skills. 7. Discuss the concept of the “Cyber Senior”. 8. Discuss future trends and what is needed to improve technology access and the ability to effectively implement these new concepts. 9. Identify resources that can be utilized to enhance the use of music to engage this population. 10. Explain futuristic trends targeting an aging population and how these positively impact both the healthy senior, as well as those individuals demonstrating cognitive decline. 11. Using case studies and video clips, accurately identify what assistive technologies can be used to enhance the lives of those individuals living with dementia both now and in the future.
