OT Vision Rehabilitation Evaluation and Treatment
3:15 PM - 3:55 PMAbstract(s)
Individuals experiencing persistent post concussive symptoms often report visual changes as well as changes in sensory processing. This session discusses the current recommended practice for assessment and intervention of visual and sensory symptoms as they relate to functional independence. Participants will be able to define the role of occupational therapy and identify its role in the management of these symptoms and be able to identify both assessment and basic treatment techniques to apply to both visual and sensory deficits.
William Lu

Evaluation and Treatment of Psychological and Cognitive Problems
3:55 PM - 4:18 PMAbstract(s)
Although there are numerous sequelae associated with concussion, cognitive deficits may be one of the most significant factors contributing to extended difficulties. This session discusses the current recommended practices for assessment and intervention of cognitive management post-concussion, with insights from both neuropsychology and speech-language pathology perspectives. Participants will be able to describe common cognitive deficits post-concussion and identify evidence-based cognitive assessments and treatment approaches for implementation by neuropsychologists and speech language pathologists.
