Abstract Objective: to carry out a survey of the main interventions used by Occupational Therapists in the Rehabilitation and Cognitive Training of elderly people with Alzheimer's Disease. Methods: integrative review, including articles published between 2011 and 2021, in English, Portuguese and Spanish in the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and National Library of Medicine databases, using the descriptors : “terapia ocupacional” (occupational therapy), “reabilitação” (rehabilitation), “cognição” (cognition), “Alzheimer”, “treino cognitivo” (cognitive training), “disfunção cognitiva e treino cognitivo” (cognitive dysfunction and cognitive training). Results: nine articles were considered, mostly produced in Asia, quantitative and cross-sectional, with no uniformity in experimental designs, and interventions with different approaches in cognitive rehabilitation. Occupational therapists prefer to perform Cognitive Rehabilitation instead of Cognitive Training, and use activities and occupations that are significant for the elderly in the intervention process. Conclusion: in the works surveyed, Occupational Therapists use Cognitive Rehabilitation as a way of working on cognitive and functional aspects in elderly people with Alzheimer's Disease, notably the functional aspects that help maintain independence in Activities of Daily Living.
