• Resumen

  • Date Presented 04/05/19 A retrospective analysis of OT evaluations completed by individuals experiencing homelessness identified the frequency of cognitive impairment and determined the predictive ability of cognitive ability on functional performance using standardized assessments. The study results indicate there is a high prevalence of cognitive impairment among individuals experiencing homelessness; however, that cognitive impairment was not predictive of performance on functional assessments.
