Training for professionals and family on intro to traumatic brain injury – basic and foundational information and resources.

About this event

The TBI 101 training is designed for professionals working with youth (and adults), parents and caregivers of survivors of brain injury, and any interested community members!

This in person training will include basic information on acquired brain injuries including types, incidence, prevalence, and leading causes. Based on understanding of brain-behavior relationships, we will review signs and symptoms of brain injury and discuss impacts in the classroom and community. Focus will be on formal and informal assessments to identify assets/deficits due to injury and appropriate academic strategies to support the student in the classroom and community.

The adult education format will be lecture, dialogue, video, small/large group discussions and includes a new case study of a student with TBI.  

All materials are provided for this course including PPT handouts, activity sheets and resources.

A total of 7 contact hours for professional development/continuing education units.
