Cognitive and perceptual abilities significantly influence a person’s capacity to perform daily tasks independently. This book explores assessment and intervention techniques used in occupational therapy to address deficits in memory, attention, problem-solving, visual perception, and spatial orientation. It provides practical frameworks for evaluating functional cognition and implementing task-based training strategies. Emphasis is placed on adapting environments, using cognitive aids, and incorporating meaningful activities that enhance learning and participation. Real-life examples help demonstrate therapeutic reasoning in clients with neurological disorders, brain injuries, and developmental challenges. Therapists are equipped to support clients in regaining confidence and function in everyday life.
