SUMMARY:Behavior Changes in TBI: Therapeutic Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This session equips healthcare providers with evidence-based strategies to assess and manage behavioral changes in individuals with TBI across clinical settings. Participants will explore common post-TBI behavioral challenges\, including impulsivity\, emotional dysregulation\, and executive dysfunction\, while learning targeted intervention strategies. The presentation will also address how to collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams and caregivers to ensure continuity of care and reinforce therapeutic gains beyond the clinic. Emphasis will be placed on individualized treatment planning\, progress monitoring\, and adaptive strategies to optimize patient outcomes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n	Identify and explain typical behavioral challenges seen in individuals with TBI\, such as impulsivity\, emotional dysregulation\, and difficulties with social interactions.\n	Describe evidence-based therapeutic strategies used in sessions to address behavioral changes\, including cognitive-behavioral techniques\, positive reinforcement\, and environmental modifications.\n	Provide caregivers and family members with practical approaches to support behavior management at home\, such as establishing routines\, using visual cues\, and fostering self-regulation techniques.\n	Discuss the importance of collaboration between healthcare professionals and family members to ensure consistency in behavioral interventions across different settings.\n	Describe methods for tracking behavioral improvements\, recognizing setbacks\, and modifying therapeutic approaches based on the individual’s evolving needs.\n\nSpeaker \nDr. Chrystal Fullen is a Clinical Neuropsychologist serving the Departments of Psychiatry\, Neurology\, and Trauma Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). She also spends time providing neuropsychological services to a local acute rehabilitation institute. She graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University with a doctorate in Psychology and completed her clinical internship at the South Texas VA in Clinical Neuropsychology. Her fellowship training was completed at UAMS\, where she focused on furthering her specialization in neuropsychological assessment and treatment of acquired brain injury and rehabilitation.

SUMMARY:Emotional Dysregulation: DBT for Brain Injury Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Emotional dysregulation is a common challenge following brain injury\, resulting from both neurobiological changes and disrupted coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)\, originally developed for borderline personality disorder\, offers a structured and skill-based framework to enhance emotional regulation\, distress tolerance\, mindfulness\, and interpersonal effectiveness—key domains that are frequently impaired post-injury. This presentation introduces the core principles of DBT\, explains how to adapt them for cognitive and emotional challenges associated with acquired brain injury\, and provides practical applications for rehabilitation and therapy teams to improve patient participation\, mood stability\, and self-awareness.

SUMMARY:Progress in Concussion/TBI Science and Clinical Care over the Last 40 Years
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge and clinical practice have evolved over the 40 years since the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation’s topical issue (volume 1\, issue 2) on “Minor Head Injury.” This webinar will review important insights from this 1986 issue and highlight how research since has refined our understanding of concussion/traumatic brain injury pathophysiology\, recovery\, and possible long-term effects. We will highlight shifts in terminology and outline how assessment and rehabilitation approaches have developed over time. Finally\, we will highlight areas of ongoing uncertainty and innovations that could help resolve them.
