What This Outline Covers

This outline covers cognitive-communication treatment after TBI, stroke, and right hemisphere damage, and in dementia. It also covers school-age students returning to class after a traumatic brain injury. The ETS blueprint lists "communication impairments related to cognition" as a treatment area in Category III, and every planning element in that category applies to it: choosing an approach by its evidence, weighing client and external factors, writing goals, setting a schedule, involving caregivers, measuring baseline and outcomes, and deciding when to modify or end treatment.

Assessment tools, Rancho level descriptions, and the RHD and dementia symptom profiles are in the Traumatic Brain Injury and Dementia & Right Hemisphere Disorders outlines. This outline assumes you know those profiles and asks what to do next.

High-Yield: Most cognitive treatment decisions turn on one question: will the change show up in the person's real life? The best answer ties the approach to a functional goal the person or family named and practices it where it will be used.
