In a TBI population, cognitive changes are often the most salient features after traumatic brain injury of any severity, and they typically contribute more to a persisting disability than do physical impairments. These changes may include negative impacts on attention, memory, processing speed, and multiple other aspects of cognition and language. However, the cognitive aspects of brain injury and their impact on language and everyday function are often overlooked for various reasons. This course presents current methods for therapeutic interventions for the rehabilitation of adults following brain injury, in multiple settings. Techniques discussed are reinforced through the instructional methods of: PowerPoint presentation and audience participation in treatment techniques.
