Rehabilitation work with people dealing with mental and cognitive disabilities - understanding and implementation

About the course

Cognitive structure and abilities are the basis for human behavior and function. Normal cognition helps a person acquire knowledge from the outside world, process it, and use it, with the nervous system and human brain being responsible for the broad range of these abilities. Every person is required to demonstrate current functional skills in their daily routine, which include, among other things: use of memory, ability to divide attention, retrieval of words from memory as needed, planning thinking, time estimation, orientation in space and place, visual perception and self-awareness, and more. Some people who deal with both mental and cognitive disabilities suffer from a significant deterioration in the level of participation in daily activities, in functional-executive abilities, and in learning processes.

The authorities of the judiciary in Israel are divided between the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court serves as an appellate instance for judgments of the District Courts in Israel, and as a High Court of Justice. When sitting as a High Court of Justice, it hears appeals against the decisions of the District Courts, the Magistrates Courts and the Religious Courts. There are three types of appeals: the High Court of Justice, District Courts and Magistrate Courts.

The powers of the judiciary are influenced by the changes in the powers of the investigative authorities and the prosecuting authorities, in order to allow scrutiny and expansion on the history of the judiciary and its influence in the State of Israel.
