Description

Though largely “invisible injuries,” traumatic brain injury and concussion history can severely complicate your treatment efforts. In this recorded session, you’ll learn essential techniques you can use in your practice to rehabilitate cognitive skills that are commonly impaired as a result of TBI. Improve your clients’ self-efficacy and help them take control of their symptoms as you understand how fatigue, mood, anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain affect cognitive performance.
