Sherrie All, PhD, è una neuropsicologa clinica autorizzata che si è specializzata nel trattamento di persone con demenza, morbo di Parkinson, TBI, SM e altri disturbi neurologici per oltre un decennio. La dottoressa All è fondatrice e direttrice del Chicago Center for Cognitive Wellness, uno studio privato di neuropsicologia specializzato nella riabilitazione cognitiva e nella salute del cervello. Gli interventi di riabilitazione cognitiva basati su prove di efficacia che utilizza hanno aiutato centinaia di adulti con declino cognitivo a migliorare le loro capacità di pensiero, ad ampliare la loro indipendenza funzionale e a migliorare la loro salute cerebrale. La dottoressa All ha lavorato come consulente per il Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging, aiutando a sviluppare e valutare un programma olistico di fitness cerebrale, e il suo lavoro con le persone sui modi per ridurre il loro rischio personale di demenza ha guadagnato l'attenzione dei media, tra cui il New Yorker e Crain's Chicago Business. La dottoressa All ha conseguito il dottorato in psicologia clinica presso la Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, è membro dell'American Psychological Association e autrice di The Neuroscience of Memory: Sette abilità per ottimizzare il suo potere cerebrale, migliorare la memoria e rimanere lucido a qualsiasi età.

Obiettivi

1. Evaluate the usefulness of cognitive screeners such as the MOCA and SLUMS versus when to refer out to a qualified neuropsychologist.
2. Design treatment interventions based on realistic treatment goals and the evidence supporting compensatory vs. restorative strategies.
3. Determine the effect of client anxiety and false beliefs to inform the clinician’s choice of treatment interventions.
4. Utilize motivational interviewing techniques and appropriate selection of rehabilitation interventions to improve client engagement.
5. Utilize specific interventions to enhance attention, memory, visuospatial, language and executive skill functioning.
6. Implement treatment interventions to improve holistic brain health in clinical settings.

Schema

THE FRAMEWORK AND SCIENCE OF COGNITIVE REHABILITATION: NOT ALL BRAIN GAMES ARE REHABILITATION

• Brain plasticity and the latest research
• Associated brain regions and functions
• Compensatory vs. restorative strategies
• Cognitive stimulation, cognitive training and cognitive rehabilitation

ASSESSMENT APPROACHES FOR COGNITIVE DECLINE

• What the MOCA and SLUMS are telling you and not telling you
• When to refer for a full neuropsychological assessment
• Make the most of assessment results including neuropsychology reports
• Static (TBI / stroke) vs. progressive decline (Alzheimer’s disease): Set and maintain realistic treatment goals
• Taking care to not “over-pathologize” concussions: Know the difference between concussion, TBI, CTE and dementia
• The use of mood and personality measures

INTERVENTION APPROACHES FOR BARRIERS TO REHABILITATION: MOOD, MOTIVATION & ANXIETY

• Motivational interviewing to cultivate engagement and brain health interventions
• Treat anxiety and false beliefs to improve cognition
• Adjustment to illness and grief: Counseling the brain impaired patient
