PATH focuses on improving the functioning of older adults with cognitive deficits in their actual environment. PATH therapists use environmental adaptation tools (i.e. signs, calendar, notes) to help older adults with cognitive deficits bypass their functional and cognitive limitation and incorporate caregiver or family member involvement, if necessary. PATH was developed as a home-delivered intervention but it can also be administered in the therapists office.If you are interested in PATH training and supervision, please contact Ms. Laurie Evans at 914-682-9100 ext 101-2570 or at lad9011@med.cornell.edu.His offices are located in Manhattan and in White Plains.Please call (646) 962-2820 orfor more information or to make an appointment.
