Take Action Now: A Proactive Approach to Brain Health, Cognitive Impairment, and Navigating Dementia Care
Copyright :
From identifying subtle early signs of cognitive impairment to designing practical, achievable brain wellness programs, this training is packed with tools you can immediately apply to real-world cases. Imagine confidently spotting the early indicators of cognitive changes, such as slowed gait or difficulty with problem-solving, and addressing them with tailored interventions that make a measurable difference.
You’ll learn how to adapt treatment plans for clients with diverse needs, like a 74-year-old struggling with memory loss who could benefit from dual-task exercises to improve both balance and cognition. Or consider a caregiver who feels overwhelmed by managing their spouse’s daily routines—you’ll gain tools to provide them with clear, actionable strategies to reduce stress and improve quality of life for everyone involved.
Whether it’s using dual-task interventions to help a client walk while practicing mental tasks, integrating physical activity protocols to strengthen cognitive health, or empowering caregivers with the knowledge they need to succeed, this seminar focuses on making complex problems manageable.
Join us to master practical solutions for dementia care at home, incorporate brain health into every session, and stay ahead in an evolving field where your expertise is needed more than ever.

Kara Welke, OTD, OTR/L, CLT, CAPS, SHSS, has had a wide variety of experiences and has worked with pediatrics through geriatrics in various settings. She even ventured away from traditional occupational therapy for a few years and had the privilege of starting an Early Head Start program from the ground up and was the director of the EHS program. Kara taught in an OTA program as well as served as the academic fieldwork coordinator for approximately 8 years. In order to provide client-centered, occupation-based, and evidence-based practice, Kara started her own Mobile Hybrid Practice to help older adults age in place in 2018. This business has grown significantly over the years, and she now has over 15 employees and contractors providing a wide array of services. Her business not only has its own client population, but they also provide services to other agencies and businesses. Due to the lack of resources for helping therapy professionals start their own business, Kara created the Next Level Occupational Therapy Facebook group. It was through this group that it became apparent that all therapy professionals needed assistance in starting their own business and that is when the Therapy Business Builder program was started. Kara has helped hundreds of therapists get to the next level in their career through her programs.
