You've written the goals, planned the session, and shown up ready — but your client hasn't. Not because they don't want to get better, but because cognition, fatigue, insight, and affect are all working against participation before motivation even enters the picture.
This 30-minute online presentation is designed for physiotherapists and exercise physiologists working with clients living with cognitive or communication impairments as a result of acquired brain injury, stroke, or neurodegenerative conditions — and is relevant to all allied health clinicians across community, outpatient, and aged care settings.
We'll cover:
Why low engagement in this cohort isn't non-compliance — and what it actually is
How neuroplasticity principles make active participation clinically non-negotiable
Practical strategies for uncovering goals that clients genuinely care about
Session design and therapist behaviours that invite engagement (and the habits that shut it down)
How to work with passive or non-responsive presentations across different settings
You'll leave with strategies you can apply in your next session and the tools to support your clients to engage to the best of their ability.
Suitable for: New graduates through to experienced clinicians
