SUMMARY:Back in the Driver’s Seat: How SLPs Can Collaborate with OTs in Driving Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Individuals recovering from brain injuries often wish to return to driving\, which requires a comprehensive evaluation of their cognitive\, motor\, and visual skills. Currently\, occupational therapists (OTs) manage driving assessments\, focusing on these areas. However\, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can play a key role by addressing cognitive-communication skills essential for safe driving\, such as attention\, memory\, executive function\, and language. This session will explore how SLPs can collaborate with OTs to improve patient outcomes and support a safe return to driving. Attendees will gain a refreshed understanding of the brain’s functions\, how cognitive-communication impacts driving\, and the benefits of a team-based approach to rehabilitation.

SUMMARY:Steps to Building a Stronger Brain: Brain Health After Injury
DESCRIPTION:Recovery does not end right after a brain injury. The brain has an ability to adapt and heal over time. With the right support\, many people can continue to improve their functioning and quality of life long after the injury. Join the Brain Injury Association of America and the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine\, the American Academy of Neurology\, and AARP for a webinar for healthcare professionals\, as well as people living with brain injury and caregivers. During this webinar\, speakers will discuss steps you can use to support brain health and how these approaches can help the brain continue to heal and adapt. \nLearning Objectives \n\n	Explain what brain health means and why it matters after brain injury.\n	Describe the brain’s ability to adapt and heal after injury and how this supports recovery.\n	Identify everyday factors that support brain health\, such as brain exercises\, healthy habits\, and supportive environments.\n	Discuss how healthcare providers\, individuals\, and communities can work together to improve long-term outcomes after brain injury\n\nPresenters \nJavier Cardenas\, MD\, is Chair of the West Virginia School of Medicine Department of Neurology. Prior to this\, he served as the founder and director of the Concussion and Brain Injury Center at the Barrow Neurological Institute\, where he developed the nation’s first mandated concussion education and testing tool for student-athletes\, which\, since its inception in 2011\, has provided concussion education to more than one million high school athletes. \nKristine Yaffe\, MD\, is a pioneering neurologist\, psychiatrist\, and epidemiologist at the University of California\, San Francisco (UCSF). She is the Roy and Marie Scola Endowed Chair and Vice Chair in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, and director of the UCSF Center for Population Brain Health. A globally recognized expert in cognitive aging\, Dr. Yaffe focuses on identifying modifiable risk factors\, such as sleep\, cardiovascular health\, and brain injury prevention. \n\n\n\nProfessional Registration\nSurvivor/Caregiver Registration\n\n\n$50 registration fee\, includes 1 ACBIS CEU and 0.1 AOTA CEUs\n$0 registration fee\, does not include CEUs

SUMMARY:An Intervention to Improve Emotion Regulation in Individuals with TBI
DESCRIPTION:Emotion regulation is an integral component of well-being. People with traumatic brain injury often experience challenges in emotion regulation that interfere with daily functioning\, social engagement\, and participation in other treatments. In this webinar\, Dr. Theo Tsaousides will introduce a comprehensive\, evidence-based intervention to improve emotion regulation (EmReg) and will present the results of a recent randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the efficacy of the intervention.

SUMMARY:Advances in Understanding the Outcomes of Pediatric TBI: Implications for Practice and Policy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will review progress in understanding the outcomes of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) since the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation special issue on “head injury” in children appeared in 1986. The webinar will highlight the critical role that prospective\, longitudinal cohort studies have played in advancing knowledge about both mild and moderate-severe pediatric TBI and describe conceptual and methodological innovations that the past 40 years of research has spurred\, along with implications for practice and policy. The webinar will also summarize remaining challenges\, including the need for comparative effectiveness and randomized controlled trials to determine what interventions are effective\, as well as for implementation science to translate research into clinical practice\, with the goal being to provide better care and improve outcomes for children with TBI and their families. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n	Describe major advances in knowledge about outcomes of pediatric TBI.\n	Discuss implications of past research regarding pediatric TBI outcomes for practice and policy.\n	Identify future challenges in research on pediatric TBI outcomes.\n\nPresenters: \nStacy Suskauer\, MD\, is a pediatric physiatrist and Vice President for Rehabilitation at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore\, Maryland. She is also Director of the Division of Pediatric Rehabilitation and a Professor in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.  In her leadership roles\, Dr. Suskauer leads the pediatric rehabilitation providers across a four-hospital pediatric rehabilitation network.  She also co-directs the Brain Injury Clinical Research Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute where she leads federally funded research related to understanding and optimizing outcomes in children with varying types and severities of acquired brain injury. \nKeith Owen Yeates\, PhD\, ABPP\, FCAHS\, FRSC\, is a Professor of Psychology\, Pediatrics\, and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Calgary in Alberta\, Canada. He has a 35-year track record of funded research focusing on the outcomes of childhood brain disorders\, especially traumatic brain injury and concussion. Dr. Yeates is inaugural Chair of the Canadian Concussion Network and Editor-in-Chief of Neuropsychology. He has served as President of the Society of Clinical Neuropsychology and of the International Neuropsychological Society. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association\, Canadian Academy of Health Sciences\, and the Royal Society of Canada. \nIncludes 1 ACBIS CEU.
