Objectives
- Identify key characteristics and presentations of ideational, ideomotor, and conceptual apraxia.
- Differentiate between each type of apraxia in the clinical assessment.
- Examine how types of apraxia impede occupation, daily activities, and community independence.
- Choose evidence-based interventions tailored to specific apraxia presentations.
- Evaluate treatment planning and adapt therapeutic interventions for diverse client population.
