There is increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation interventions and cognitive stimulation programming. In this course, we will discuss some of that evidence and then explore a wide range of materials that can be used by therapists, caregivers, and others. It is important to know which types of exercises will exercise which cognitive abilities and parts of the brain, so as to target areas that need to be improved. Best practices will also be discussed to give attendees a wide range of skills and knowledge related to cognitive rehabilitation. This course is the fourth of a five-part series.

1. Foundational Principles of Cognitive Rehabilitation
An important goal of cognitive rehabilitation is to achieve benefits that generalize or transfer beyond the trained task. We will discuss what works, what doesn’t work, and why. Cognitive rehabilitation dosing recommendations and ideas to maximize therapeutic outcomes are also examined.
2. Who, What, When, and Where
In an attempt to maximize therapeutic outcomes, we will discuss who can assist in delivering cognitive stimulation interventions, who can benefit from those interventions, how much to do in a session, and difference in delivery modalities based on the environment.
3. Executive Functioning Exercises
We will explore a wide range of cognitive rehabilitation exercises designed to exercise executive functioning. Interventions designed to exercise selective attention, sustained attention, inhibition, and theory of mind are explained.
4. Spatial, Word Finding and Language Exercises
A wide range of cognitive rehabilitation materials designed to exercise spatial and language abilities are presented in this chapter. Mental rotation, expressive language interventions, word finding, and inhibition of language abilities are discussed.
5. Group Therapy, Individual Therapy, and Technology
We will discuss options for individual and group cognitive rehabilitation. Using caregivers and volunteers in various rehabilitation settings is also discussed. In addition, home exercise interventions will be explored. Options for using tablets and computers to deliver cognitive rehabilitation programs are considered. Many available options will be explored. Some of the available products have the advantage of adjusting difficulty level, based on recent or previous performance.
