Document Summary
Assessment period, increased distraction & agitation, more specific goals. Enables social more interaction/ feedback from peers. Includes: q/a, role play, barrier activity/descriptions, oral presentations, group outings. Modifications in nervous system in response to internal or external environmental conditions. Usually adaptive - seek to survive change. Diaschisis- functional disturbances in undamaged areas that are functionally (and anatomically) related to, but remote from the area of injury. As injured area recovers (edema, icp), related area recovers. Areas not injured altered to subserve functions previously carried out by now damaged areas. Equipotentiality (lashley, 1938) equal potential to specialize function. Reduced client motivation if rationale not provided (if possible for higher level clients) Keep instructions simple, repeat them, provide multiple modalities. Immediate feedback; show change over time (plot performance) Simple to complex tasks; gradually increase distraction. Teach strategies for formalizing an approach to solve problems (writing adv/disadv. , using external sources) Talking through tasks, memorize and repeat tasks.
