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:Early Childhood Brain Injury: Clinical Guidance for Supporting Recovery in Children Under Age 5
DESCRIPTION:Young children who experience a brain injury present with unique developmental\, behavioral\, and communication challenges that require specialized clinical assessment and coordinated intervention. This webinar equips healthcare professionals with evidence-informed approaches to evaluating and managing brain injury in children under age five. Participants will review common injury mechanisms and early neurodevelopmental impacts\, recognize early signs of functional change across motor\, cognitive\, social–emotional\, and communication domains\, and identify risk factors that warrant additional monitoring or referral. The session will emphasize interdisciplinary coordination—across medical providers\, rehabilitation therapists\, and early childhood programs—to optimize recovery\, support family functioning\, and promote developmental progress during the critical early years.

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.

SUMMARY:Co-Occurring Personality Disorders and TBI: How Diagnostic Over-Shadowing and Stigma Impact Treatment Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:This webinar focuses on the prevalence of co-occurring personality disorders and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)\, and how this intersection impacts recovery and treatment outcomes. It will explore diagnostic overshadowing and the role it plays in misinterpreting behavioral presentations\, often leading to inaccurate assumptions about survivor motivation and needs. Many individuals with co-occurring conditions face significant stigma\, frequently being labeled as “resistant to care” or “behaviorally complex\,” which can impede access to appropriate supports. You will learn about the importance of effective communication strategies\, trauma-informed treatment approaches\, and creating continuums of support that foster long-term recovery. Attendees will leave with practical approaches to improve diagnostic accuracy\, reduce stigma\, and enhance treatment outcomes for individuals navigating both personality disorders and TBI.

SUMMARY:Concussion in Youth Football: What We Know\, What We Can Do\, and How to Protect Young Athletes
DESCRIPTION:Concussion is one of the most common injuries in youth football\, yet it is often misunderstood\, underreported\, and inadequately managed. Young athletes’ developing brains may be especially vulnerable to the short- and long-term effects of concussion\, making education and prevention critical. In this webinar\, hosted by the Brain Injury Association of America and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association\, in collaboration with experts from Indiana University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, participants will explore the current science of concussion in youth football. Drs. Dana Waltzman and Johna Register-Mihalik will cover risk factors\, signs and symptoms\, recovery considerations\, and evidence-based strategies to reduce injury and support safe return to play and learning. The session will also address the role of parents\, coaches\, schools\, and healthcare providers in creating safer environments for young athletes.

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:Atypical Concussion Presentations & Treatment Recommendations: Functional Neurological and Somatic Disorders
DESCRIPTION:This lecture provides an in-depth overview of atypical presentations following concussion\, with a specific focus on somatic symptom disorder (SSD) and functional neurological symptom disorder (FND)\, and their role in prolonged recovery. The presentation emphasizes the importance of psychological and behavioral factors—such as fear avoidance\, symptom catastrophizing\, and illness perception—in driving ongoing symptoms and disability. Through clinical examples and research findings\, it highlights how SSD and FND can mimic or amplify post-concussion symptoms\, outlines key assessment strategies to differentiate these conditions\, and presents evidence-informed\, multidisciplinary treatment approaches to improve outcomes and reduce chronic impairment. shed understanding of the brain’s functions\, how cognitive-communication impacts driving\, and the benefits of a team-based approach to rehabilitation.

SUMMARY:Understanding Lingering Changes after Concussion
DESCRIPTION:Many individuals who sustain a concussion appear physically recovered yet continue to experience subtle cognitive-communication and executive functioning challenges that affect daily life\, work\, and relationships. This presentation explores the often “invisible” lingering effects of mild traumatic brain injury through a functional speech-language pathology lens. Participants will learn how to recognize persistent post-concussion changes\, apply evidence-informed assessment strategies\, and implement practical intervention approaches aligned with current best practices and INCOG 2.0 guidelines. Case examples and clinically relevant tools will support the translation of research into real-world practice.
