1)
Apply the human activity assistive technology model to
help identify appropriate assistive technologies for individuals with cognitive
disabilities
There are so many pros to this approach because it
solve situations that deals with memory, attention, information processing and
problem solving. Perception is the most important factor because it involves
how our sensory systems identify what is in the outside world.
2)
Identify cognitive skills that underlie functional
performance for persons with cognitive disabilities
They would be identified as perception, attention,
memory, orientation, knowledge of presentation,
problem solving and language. All of these skills are very important
because it aides the person to help function day to day.
3)
Understand what cognitive faculties are commonly
compromised in specific disorders
Because each person is different the severity of the injury is
different. Some people faces severe visual neglect, apraxia, language problems,
perceptual deficits, attention disorders and memory problems. Some people have
mild cognitive disorders and then some can be very severe. If there is a gap between the skills required
to complete a task and the skills that the individual need.
4)
Understand the role of assistive technologies in
aiding cognitive function
Time management plays a huge role in the understanding
process. Some devices are identified to make sure the individual has met all
needs.
5)
Identify and describe some of the assistive technologies
that are currently available to assist individuals with cognitive impairments
You have cognitive prosthesis which is an entire system of hardware or software and personal assistance that is
individualized to meet specific needs. Quality , casual patterns, space,
quality and time is very important.
