The workshop will provide a bird's-eye view of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation and recovery from inpatient to outpatient, to 10 years(+) post-injury. Multiple resources, strategies, references and tools will be provided in order to support the participant's ability to apply strategies and intervention techniques immediately upon conclusion of the workshop. Strategies and techniques to address specific symptoms will be reviewed, including the process of customization to the client's specific needs.
Current research in brain health and neuroplasticity will be discussed and specific strategies for promoting neurological recovery will be reviewed.
