As stroke also causes weakness, rehabilitation provides a combination of restorative and adaptive therapies. However, ED reduces the ability of people to form strategies and solve problems. There are currently no interventions supported by research evidence and this workshop draws upon a theory-based approach to practical application.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop begins with a review of cognition which is then applied to building an understanding of the theory of executive function. Practical assessment methods are demonstrated and practised. In the afternoon, workshop participants apply intervention methods to case study scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The course will cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">A review of the cognitive framework and impact from stroke;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Executive function and the task application model;<\/li>\n<li>Screening and assessment \u2013 creating a cognitive profile<\/li>\n<li>Goal setting and intervention planning for executive function challenges after stroke using the task application model.<\/li>\n<li>Real world intervention formulation case study work including scenarios of people with multiple impacts from stroke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;
