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.

SUMMARY:First Consensus Statement on TBI in First Responders
DESCRIPTION:Traumatic brain injury (TBI)\, including concussion\, is a common yet underrecognized occupational hazard among first responders\, including law enforcement officers\, firefighters\, and emergency medical services personnel. This webinar presents the first international interdisciplinary consensus recommendations for recognizing\, diagnosing\, managing\, and supporting return to duty after TBI in first responders. Participants will learn how these evidence-informed recommendations address unique occupational challenges—including reporting barriers\, safety-sensitive job demands\, and return-to-duty decision making—and how healthcare providers\, brain injury professionals\, researchers\, and agencies can work together to improve outcomes and occupational readiness.
