OVERVIEW

Cognitive Training and Dementia is organized by American Society on Aging (ASA) and will be held on May 09, 2024.

Description:
There is evidence that cognitive training tools can help older adults who are healthy or have mild cognitive impairment to improve cognitive health and perhaps their everyday functioning. Studies show some forms of cognitive training may help reduce or delay the development of cognitive impairment and dementia.

This course provides an overview of effective strategies and resources to help health professionals use cognitive training to help build cognitive resilience.

Participants in this webinar will:

List 6 or more modifiable risk factors for dementia.
Summarize the types of cognitive training exercises that may help reduce the risk of dementia or improve functioning.
Identify effective interventions and strategies to employ cognitive training with a special focus on adults ages 45 and older.
Identify special considerations for high-risk populations.
