![]() ![]() The previous clinician had an insight goal which I will be carrying over. The client has a morning schedule but is for some reason resistant to adding showering because they do not see it as a problem. The client feels as if they do not have any difficulty related to remembering to shower and that the bathroom is just always in use (which is not accurate according to mom). Part of the breakdown is related to insight. Client has previously gotten OT services but is not getting OT services at this time.ĭoes anyone have any experience with a similar situation or ideas to help this client to remember to complete this task? Perhaps you could point me in the direction of a relevant resource? TIA :) Client lives with their family, but the family does not want to have to always remind them. Previous strategies used were phone alarms, changing the time of day they showered, leaving notes around the house in strategic locations reminding them to shower, and leaving a towel in a conspicuous location as a reminder. They do not have any motor deficits, just memory. They have had variations of the same goal (independently remember to take a shower 4x/wk) for many, many semesters, and have made little progress. They have challenges with prospective memory that affect their ability to complete ADLs. ![]() ![]() Hello, I am an SLP grad student, and I this semester I will be working (virtually) with a young adult client who has severe retrograde and anterograde amnesia (6 years post onset). ![]()
