Course Description

The ACRM Cognitive Rehabilitation Training bridges the gap between research and clinical practice, translating evidence-based guidelines into step-by step procedures for clinicians. And now — this course will be based on the NEW and IMPROVED SECOND EDITION — just launched 4 October 2022. Be the VERY first to dive into the latest strategies and receive the new 500-page MANUAL & TEXTBOOK hot-off-the-press. Training offers a comprehensive overview of cognitive rehabilitation process (treatment planning, goal setting, and progress monitoring), a foundation in basic neuroanatomy, and direct guidance and instruction on addressing impairments in attention, memory, executive functioning, social communication, and visuospatial and praxic functioning. General procedures and specific interventions for group-based treatment are also covered.

“I feel like this training gives me a game plan and a strategy to start developing my treatment plans. I know where to start with each of my patients and I feel more confident and assured that the treatment I’m providing is evidence-based.”
