Cognition in Clients With Acute High-Level Spinal Cord Injury: Why Assessment Matters
Authors: Doyle Susan , Kaminsky Tatiana , DeWilde Michael , Golob Jon-Erik , Allen Olivia 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
A literature review found the incidence of cognitive impairment in those with high-level SCI to be 70%–77% from brain injury and other comorbidities. These impairments are often overlooked. Cognitive screening is essential for appropriate care, but there is a shortage of appropriate assessments.

Authors: Dessoye Jennifer , Converse-Korhonen Chelsey , McLaughlin Lindsey , McSweeney Shannon , Steinhoff Cathryn 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
The use of iPad apps for fine motor and visual–motor skills is a common intervention in pediatric occupational therapy (OT). This study provides evidence to support this intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder. Children use handwriting as a main means of communication in their role as students; therefore, OT is highly involved.
