| Annotation | Cognitive dysfunction resulting from dementing diseases, such as memory problems, interferes greatly with the performance of most activities of daily living (ADLs). The field of occupational therapy has developed a variety of intervention programmes to deal with everyday activities for those with dementia. This article summarises the relevant literature - which is very sparse - of studies evaluating the efficacy of such interventions, and calls for more research to identify and evaluate intervention strategies which deal with occupational functioning among those with dementia disorders.
