In this instructional course, we will first discuss the definition of spatial neglect and emphasize the clinical impact on stroke survivors. Next, we will explain the KF-NAP and offer participants the opportunity to practice using the assessment through access to patient cases via video. After, the KF-PAT will be introduced. Small groups will now learn to administer this treatment protocol by actually practicing with the equipment. Conclusions will be a discussion the practical implications of using both protocols in an inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the definition of spatial neglect
• Describe the clinical impact of spatial neglect
• Understand the potential benefit of using both the KF-NAP and KF-PAT
• Describe the clinical implications of using KF-NAP and KF-PAT
