Students examine the practice of occupational therapy assessment and intervention for adults and children whose occupational performance has been impacted by a range of cognitive or intellectual impairments.

Specifically, students learn to use evidence based assessment and intervention strategies where disorder in the following dimensions of cognition impact occupational performance, consciousness, attention and orientation with impulse control, sensory perception, memory, and executive function.
