Abstract
As COVID-19 halted traditional neuropsychological assessment due to infection risk, neuropsychologists considered alternative practice models. Cognitive stabilization intervention (CSI) via telehealth, was developed to stabilize cognition in advance of neuropsychological assessment. It incorporates elements of evidence-based treatments, including cognitive training, sleep training, and medication adherence training within a motivational interview framework. Two case vignettes are described. One vignette describes an elder man who received CSI to manage sleep difficulties, forgetfulness, and mood symptoms. Another vignette describes a woman who completed CSI following an autoimmune disorder episode to improve sleep, organization, and attention. The benefits and limitations of CSI are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life.
Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
