Feasibility of HOBSCOTCH Telehealth Intervention in Refractory Epilepsy

Home-Based Self-Management and Cognitive Training Changes Lives (HOBSCOTCH) is a novel phone-based intervention that is enables acquisition of cognitive skills in line with problem solving therapy (PST), and is well suited for PWRE who have failed all other treatment alternatives. Sessions #2 through #7 focus on building patient's awareness for their own day-to-day memory problems, brainstorming, implementing and reviewing the outcomes of potential solutions they generate themselves using the PST framework. In each of these sessions, providers will assist patients in generating alternative solutions, in thinking through what the implementation of each strategy would entail, and in helping them review outcomes for adopted strategies to refine their approach for optimized adoption and generalization.
