Home Based Self-management and Cognitive Training Changes lives in post traumatic epilepsy (HOBSCOTCH-PTE)
HOBSCOTCH is a home-based self-management program to treat cognitive symptoms and improve quality of life, while minimizing the barriers of access to care. The program is based on Problem Solving Therapy (PST) and teaches problem solving strategies and compensatory mechanisms to help manage cognitive dysfunction and enhance quality of life. HOBSCOTCH-PTE is an adaptation of the HOBSCOTCH program for people with a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic epilepsy that incorporates education about TBI, PTE, and cognition into the education module.
HOBSCOTCH-PTE for Caregivers
Select components of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE program delivered to caregivers consist of session 1 of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE (virtual) program (education module), guidance and instructions on utilizing quick relaxation, and session 8 of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE program (program wrap-up and maintenance planning).
