Webinar Description

Join Dr. Rashelle Hoffman for an interactive session exploring cognitive changes in aging and practical strategies for assessment and intervention. Participants will learn to distinguish between common age-related cognitive changes, select and interpret relevant tests and measures, and apply evidence-informed interventions across diverse clinical settings. Real-world case scenarios will illustrate how to support aging adults and their care partners, with a focus on enhancing function, participation, and access to resources.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize common age-related cognitive changes and assess them using cognitive, functional, and participation-based tests.

  • Apply knowledge to real-world aging adult case scenarios and provide appropriate client and caregiver resources.

  • Evaluate and compare evidence-based interventions and adaptations to address or slow impairment progression.
