Description

This presentation explains variations across the cognitive spectrum from the expected changes in aging, to mild cognitive impairment. The ability to distinguish early cognitive changes that may signal risks to cognitive health provides rationale for enhanced monitoring and significantly improved opportunities for early intervention.

This course is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels. There is an introduction to cultural competence, which is necessary and appropriate for beginners. It also applies to intermediate levels as it expands upon the introductory level, focusing on communication & treatment strategies based on a patients or clients age/generation.
