Managing Fatigue in People With Parkinson's Disease

The Individual Managing Fatigue Program includes six weekly sessions that focus on sleep, communication and body mechanics, activity stations, priorities and standards, and balancing daily schedule. Each session includes three parts: 1) a pre-session activity 2) in-session activities/information and 3) homework. Prior to coming to each session, participants will be asked to complete activities that will help them prepare for the in-session discussions. During each session participants will discuss and practice the topics most important to them. Based on their discussions, participants and therapists will decide on activities to complete during each session and as homework. The therapist will help the participant begin the homework at the end of each session, and the participant will finish it outside of the session at home. At the beginning of the following session, the therapist and participant will review the homework.
