Cognitive impairments are characterized by problems sustaining attention in distracting conditions, shifting attention between different task demands, and using working memory to consistently execute intended actions, and as a result limit the ability to execute routine ADLs. Presently there are no interventions that have demonstrated robust effectiveness in reducing disability among individuals with cognitive impairments after stroke. Recent findings suggest that individuals with cognitive impairments may experience ADL disability in part because they have difficulty engaging in, and benefiting from rehabilitation programs as they are currently delivered. In other words, individuals with cognitive impairment, due to the nature of their impairments, have difficulty learning and applying adaptive strategies as they are currently provided during traditional rehabilitation training. Therefore, interventions that train individuals with cognitive impairments a new way to learn and apply adaptive strategies may help them benefit from rehabilitation programs and reduce long-term disability. Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupation Performance (CO-OP) is a strategy training approach that trains individuals to identify problems in the performance of daily activities, develop strategies to address these problems, and monitor their own performance in the course of their daily routines. Therefore, CO-OP teaches individuals to "take charge" of their rehabilitation, and develop adaptive behaviors to "work around" cognitive impairments to meet their goals. The proposed project examines whether CO-OP facilitates reductions in ADL disability and improvements in rehabilitation engagement among individuals with cognitive impairments after acute stroke.
