lunes, el 16 de septiembre de 2019 a las 10:30–12:00 PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)

Living in a rural area can pose a major barrier for health seeking behaviors among individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This session will focus on discussing the treatment barriers specific to rural settings for individuals with Parkinson's disease and the importance of developing quality treatment programs in these areas. This session will also inform attendees of potential evidence-based therapeutic modalities that recreational therapists can use in a practical setting. Additionally, presenters will provide information about the rural multidisciplinary community program they have recently developed and provide information on the impact it has had on balance, speech, and quality of life among individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in a mock dual-task fall prevention intervention.

Funding: The multidisciplinary program referenced throughout this presentation was sponsored by the Parkinson's Foundation Community Grant.
