Traumatic Brain Injury: Introduction, Clinical Picture, Evaluation, and Treatment, 10/26/2024
116
About the Course:
There is so much that a person can experience after a TBI. As clinicians, we get to help restore as much function as possible through rehabilitative and compensatory techniques. TBI is a commonly seen diagnosis in hospitals, subacute, acute, outpatient centers and home health. No matter what sector of rehabilitation you currently work in, this course will help you develop a well-rounded understanding of TBI including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical picture, procedures for evaluation and treatment, and understanding coma and levels of consciousness. We will discuss how we can not only attempt to increase function for the patient but also educate caregivers for optimal carry-over. All in all, this course will help you be a better patient advocate, which is one of the best things we can do for our patients!
Course Objectives:
Cynthia Diaz is a pediatric Occupational Therapist with a passion for pediatric and orthopedic care. Currently, she works as a school-based OT and enjoys furthering her education and knowledge through study, and implementing new interventions with students to help increase academic performance through enhancing visual perceptual skills, graphic communication, sensory integration techniques and more. Cynthia gets to use her skills in the pediatric realm on not only her students, but on her kiddos at home as well, all 4 of them!
