However, the lack of current research-based guidance to address women’s concerns is alarming. Many women report challenges with performing professional and personal tasks attributed to cognitive difficulties they experience during peri- and post-menopausal ages; yet they are often dismissed and told it is “normal” aging. Furthermore, women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease post-menopause. This webinar will explore the neurological and cognitive changes that occur across the menopausal transition and how these changes may influence daily functioning, work performance and quality of life. Participants will learn to distinguish expected age and menopause-related cognitive changes from potential indicators of neurodegenerative disease and will explore practical, research-informed strategies to support brain health, cognitive function and continued independence throughout midlife and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARNER OUTCOMES\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList at least three neurological changes that in occur in women across pre-, peri- and post-menopause stages of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferentiate between normal cognitive changes and cognitive changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe women’s brain health through professional and\/or personal life application for continued functional independence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUCCESSFUL COMPLETION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eParticipants will be present during the live webinar in its entirety and complete an attendance verification and feedback survey in the Academy Learning Portal within one month of the live air date. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUDIENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOccupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants and Speech-Language Pathologists \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTINUING EDUCATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOccupational Therapists: \u003c\/strong\u003eCheck back soon!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Therapists: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis online course has been approved by the Illinois Physical Therapy Board for 1.5 Contact Hours.
