DESCRIPTION
Assessing Decision-making Capacity in Persons with Aphasia. Life-altering decisions often mark and significantly shape a patient’s rehabilitation process. The complex choices patients, families and rehabilitation clinicians face frequently give rise to profound ethical considerations, particularly around the question of who should ultimately make these important decisions. At the crux of such dilemmas lies an important question: does the patient have decision-making capacity (DMC)? Although there is no definitive test, DMC is typically evaluated using a semi-structured interview approach that assesses patients’ alertness, orientation, ability to communicate a choice, understanding of relevant information, appreciation of the situation and ability to rationally manipulate information. However, aphasia presents a significant challenge to DMC assessment as persons with aphasia commonly experience impairments in comprehension and expression that can interfere with the exchange of accurate information and mask underlying DMC. In this webinar, we use a multidisciplinary approach to explore core aspects of DMC evaluations, challenges conducting DMC evaluations in persons with aphasia and techniques to support valid DMC evaluations for persons with aphasia.

      not bad
      Format: Kindle
      I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

      A Beta Worth Rooting For
      Format: Kindle
      In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

      Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
      Format: Kindle
      Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

      A familiar story, just with…..less.
      Format: Kindle
      So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

      Good start to a series
      Format: Kindle
      I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
