DoC Program Recommendations in the Archives
The ACRM-endorsed position statement, Minimum Competency Recommendations for Programs That Provide Rehabilitation Services for Persons With Disorders of Consciousness, published this month in the Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. According to lead author, Joseph T. Giacino, persons with disorders of consciousness have highly complex care needs that require specialized evaluation and treatment services. While evidence-based practice guidelines exist for practitioners responsible for clinical management of these persons, none exist for inpatient rehabilitation programs. The position statement is intended to guide programs, payors and consumers in determining whether a specific facility can adequately meet the needs of persons with DoC and their caregivers.

ACRM | ACRM Cognitive Rehabilitation Manual 
The ACRM Cognitive Rehabilitation Manual: Translating Evidence-Based Recommendations into Practice is based on a recent review of the literature covering evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation, completed by a team of researchers led by Keith Cicerone, PhD, ABPP-Cn. It is a practical guide for the implementation of evidence-based interventions for impairments of executive functions, memory, attention, hemispatial neglect, and social communication.
