2011 Specialty Conference on Adult Cognition
Hilton St. Louis @ the Ballpark
1 South Broadway
Saint Louis, MO
The life of an adult can be devastated by the sudden or prolonged loss of attention, memory, or language. As our nation’s aging population accelerates and thousands of our wounded soldiers come home, cognitive disorders such as these and others are a growing problem. Occupational therapy practitioners must now have extensive knowledge and expertise to provide the best practice to those surviving stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, or dementia.
The AOTA Adult Cognition Specialty Conference is your newest and most outstanding opportunity to advance your skills in this critical area. Please join us in St. Louis, Missouri, October 28-29, 2011, to hear from some of the most well-known and top-level experts in occupational therapy as they address vital topics across the scope of cognitive disorders!
