A very useful resource for therapist working in cognitive rehabilitation by Jose Lopez Sanchez  5 Stars
August 17, 2009
I found this book very useful for me, as an occupational therapist working with patients with brain damage.
The functional approach of this book is more useful for O.Ts than other books that I read before, written by neuropsychologists.
I recommend this book for all O.Ts working with patients with cognitive and perceptual deficits.
