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.
