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. To that end\, she has developed and co-directs a multi-tiered cognitive rehabilitation program at the hospital. In 2022\, she developed an inpatient neuropsychological service to expand cognitive assessment and intervention in UAMS’s level I trauma center. Dr. Fullen’s research has focused on rehabilitation\, epilepsy\, brain injury\, and performance validity measures. She is also a clinical supervisor for neuropsychological assessment in inpatient and outpatient settings. \nIncludes 1 ACBIS CEU.

SUMMARY:Caring for the Caregivers of People with Brain Injury: Making it E.A.S.I.E.R.
DESCRIPTION:In this caregiver webinar\, Mark Bayley and Judy Gargaro will review the current research literature examining the impact of caregiving on the health of caregivers and interventions designed for caregivers. Findings from a recent collaborative project that codesigned solutions to better support the caregivers of people with brain injury will be discussed. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and review online resources. Next steps for implementing the E.A.S.I.E.R. recommendations will also be discussed. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n	Describe the impacts of caregiving on the emotional and brain health of caregivers of people with brain injury and how to effectively meet their needs\n	Identify readily available online resources to support caregivers\n	Discuss six strategies to make caregiving E.A.S.I.E.R.\n\nSpeakers: \nMark Bayley\, MD\, FRCPC\, is a clinician scientist at the KITE research institute at University Health Network- Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and a Professor of Medicine at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine\, University of Toronto\, in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Mark is very interested in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes after brain and spinal cord illness and injury. He has led multicenter trials of exercise\, technology\, and medications combined with exercise to enhance outcomes. He is also interested in how to ensure clinicians follow best practices by leading the development of clinical practice guidelines\, implementation toolkits\, websites\, and smartphone apps. He currently holds the Coriat Family Chair in Rehabilitation Innovations. Mark has held numerous health system leadership roles\, including Chair of the Stroke Evaluation Committee at CorHealth Ontario and Vice Chair of the GTA Rehab Network. His work has helped redesign rehabilitation systems in Canada. \nJudy Gargaro\, M.Ed. is the Manager for the Neurotrauma Care Pathways Initiative and was previously the Program Director for the ABI programme at the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF). Judy has been working on the implementation and evaluation of a Neurotrauma Care Pathway Strategy with a focus on how best to support persons with a brain and/or spinal cord injury with comorbidities and who have traditionally been underserved by the healthcare system. Other initiatives include developing a Neurotrauma data strategy to assess quality of care\, the Provincial TBI Report Card and the implementation of the Standards and Clinical Practice Guidelines for Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and for the Rehabilitation of Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. In all this work\, Judy collaborates with administrators\, clinicians and policy makers to improve the quality of care available to persons after all severities of neurotrauma. \nIncludes 1 ACBIS CEU.
