Register by Tuesday, August 21, 2018

Presenter: Louis-Pierre Auger

With the aging of the population, there is a need to assist seniors in maintaining their health and independence to remain active members of the community. Cognitive decline is amongst the main causes of loss of independence with seniors, which can lower quality of life. Considering the absence of effective intervention for cognitive decline, the promotion of cognitive vitality appears to be one of the best strategies to help seniors maintain their capacities to participate in the community and could help prevent the onset of cognitive decline. Occupational therapists are well suited to help seniors in the promotion of their cognitive vitality.
