OVERVIEW: After a moderate to severe brain injury, survivors often look ‘normal,’ but they and those closest to them (spouse, family, co-workers) realize ‘something isn’t right.’ The person may have been a high-functioning manager before, but now lacks initiation, is disorganized and unable to concentrate, and may act impulsively or inappropriately - especially when frustrated. Is it depression? Anxiety? Cognitive dysfunction due to a forgotten brain injury? Or any/all of the above?
OBJECTIVES: After attending this workshop the participant will be able to describe:
• Main causes and types of brain injury,
• Symptoms of diagnosed and undiagnosed brain injury,
• Effective cognitive and behavioral interventions for people with brain injury,
• Missouri and Kansas programs for people with traumatic brain injury.
