Abstract
This chapter presents a new cognitive rehabilitation program that adapts the triple CAB model to elderly adults with ID at various stages of dementia, mostly with Alzheimer’s disease. This CAB-Elderly or CAB-E model (Cognition, Affect, and Behavior mediation for Elderly persons with Alzheimer’s) aims to help caregivers and direct staff relate to these people with comorbid ID and Alzheimer’s in ways that enhance their cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning and improve their quality of life. The program integrates four theoretical resources: the compensation age theory and the person-centered care, cognitive rehabilitation, and mediational approaches. Deriving from a successful case-study intervention, the CAB-E model’s three mediation components – cognition, affect, and behavior – can be applied during daily activities like meals, medication administration, vocational work sessions, and leisure activities. Using the program can reduce the burden on caregivers and enable greater optimism and resilience. Detailed practical recommendations are furnished for treating older persons with ID with and without Alzheimer. This chapter supports calls for preparing adults with ID towards aging.
