Abstract
A cognitive remediation group therapy was adapted to accommodate a participant with acquired blindness in an early psychosis intervention program. The modifications facilitated group inclusion and self-reported positive outcomes. This case highlights the need to consider accessibility during treatment design and transitioning therapies from research settings into clinical environments.
Résumé
Une thérapie de groupe de remédiation cognitive a été adaptée pour accueillir un participant atteint de cécité acquise au sein d’un programme d’intervention précoce pour la psychose. Les modifications ont facilité l’inclusion du groupe et les résultats positifs autodéclarés. Ce cas met en évidence la nécessité de tenir compte de l’accessibilité lors de la conception du traitement et de la transition des thérapies des milieux de recherche vers les environnements cliniques.
