Development and Delivery of a Course on
"Technological Approaches to Cognitive Disabilities"

Howard Wachtel Howard.Wachtel@Colorado.EDU

The "Technological Approaches to Cognitive Disabilities" (TACD) course was designed and executed as a collaborative effort between the College of Engineering Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Rehabilitation Center of Boulder Community Hospital. A cadre of eight clinicians spanning several areas of cognitive and rehabilitative therapy delivered lectures and made themselves available for interaction with the engineering students - each of whom addressed a particular issue in the form of their term projects. The class was made available to seniors and graduate engineering students.

Boulder Community Hospital's Rehabilitation Department clinician presenters in the TACD course included representatives from Physical Medicine, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech/Language/Cognitive Therapy, Assistive Technology, and Support for Independent Living.
