Interventions | Aim | Principles |
Educational | Develop understanding and awareness into the nature of the deficit. | Improve the insight into the effect of the deficit, as well as metacognitive processes to aid in self-monitoring and regulation of function. |
Adaptive | Utilising strategies to minimise the symptoms and impact of the cognitive deficit. | The nature of the deficit is identified and compensatory strategies are developed that allow the patient to adjust their approach in situations where deficit is creating problems. |
Remedial | Using interventions that focus on the cause of the cognitive deficit. | Use training routines that promote neuroplasticity to improve the neurological pathways that are causing the deficit. |
Functional | Structure the interventions to relate to the patients particular lifestyle or work related needs. | Adapt and apply the specific interventions to relevant activities that impact upon the patient’s lifestyle. |
