When our clients show a range of cognitive deficits\, whet her it is a byproduct of aging or other medical factors\, they may benefit greatly from the supportive nature of a Collaborative process\, but the t eam will need to adjust\, adapt\, and attune in different ways to help the se individuals participate effectively. One challenge in a new case is ass essing clearly what sort of deficits or difficulties a given client is exp eriencing\, as well as how those difficulties might impact the client's pa rticipation in the process. Will the client be able to remember prior disc ussions? Will the client be able to organize documents - and thoughts? Wil l the client need extra support from a family member and/or a caregiver th roughout the process? What involvement should that extra support person ha ve in the Team meetings\, if any? These questions and a whole host of othe rs will be addressed during this program.\nDr. Hendricks will explore the various types of cognitive decline\, including dementia\, and behaviors th at clients may exhibit that could indicate a need for either accommodation s or even a neuropsychological evaluation to determine whether the client has sufficient capacity to proceed.\nCourtney McCarthy and Dr. Hendricks w ill then provide examples of the various types of capacity that could come into play\, as well as the types of evaluations that might be indicated. Courtney McCarthy and Lisa Herrick will discuss their experiences working with older clients showing cognitive impairment in previous Collaborative cases and ways in which they and their teammates adapted the process to ma intain its integrity.\n\n\nMichael L.
