There was an excellent mix of theoretical underpinnings, signs/symptoms "in the real world," and compensatory strategies.Believe it or not I felt that the presenter's comment about imagery as a compensatory strategy "not working for me," was one of the best small things. It pointed out, indirectly yet forcefully, that one needs to consider what works for a given individual and that often this will require data gathering from the individual and their family/caregivers.

The content was organized in a way that linked the different areas -- definitions, differentiation, assessment, intervention -- in a coherent sequence. For example, the connection b/t time perception/management as an area of weakness, and how the therapist would need to consider this when planning goals/intervention.
