This year’s 12th annual Brain Injuries conference promises to be one of the BesT, focusing on some of the challenging dilemmas you face in your everyday practice. What are the best options in managing patients with disorders of consciousness? What is in the treatment pipeline from bioengineering, telerehabilitation, and regenerative medicine? How do you determine effective treatment for blast and combat concussions to maximize outcomes?

Join us as our multidisciplinary experts examine the evidence and analyze treatment options. Bring your questions and puzzling cases, our dynamic faculty will give you answers and guidance. Did you know that most of the clinicians who attend the Brain Injuries conference have been in this field for over 10 years? Think of the opportunities you’ll have as you discuss challenging cases and network with your colleagues from across the U.s.!

preconference aemotions in check and problems solved!The executive functions of the brain are the most fundamental cognitive skills for personal effectiveness, social competence, and vocational success. People with brain injuries often experience significant problems with executive functions, which prevent them from managing their lives effectively in many domains. Treating executive dysfunction is challenging because of the complex interaction between cognitive and emotional functioning, which affects people with brain injuries in different ways. Treatments for executive dysfunction typically involve strategy training. However, these approaches often fail to address the emotional aspects, and may not produce sustainable outcomes. The Preconference faculty have developed a treatment approach that integrates well-supported interventions to address both the cognitive and the emotional components of executive function. This integrative approach combines problem-solving training (sWAPs) and emotional regulation training (emreg). In the first part of the workshop you will learn about the theoretical and empirical basis of the two interventions, and outcomes from two randomized controlled trials. In the second part of the workshop you will learn how to administer sWAPs and emreg, and you will participate in simulated treatment sessions.

preconference bbehavioral management during acute and post-acute brain injury rehabilitation

hossaM (saM) bayouMy, ptrichard l. delMonico, phdMichelle tipton-burton, Ms, otr/l

Behavioral disturbances following a TBI create a major barrier to maximizing rehabilitation potential across the continuum of care. These disturbances present significant challenges for clinical intervention and attainment of independent functions for patients. Participate in this workshop to learn successful approaches for management of these behaviors during acute rehabilitation and through the continuum of rehabilitation care. This workshop will discuss a variety of behavioral disturbances, the processes to develop appropriate management strategies, and steps for implementation of a comprehensive and consistent behavioral management program through each stage of rehabilitation. Utilize this advanced knowledge to better manage your patients and provide caregivers ways to successfully transition their family member through the rehabilitation process to home and the community.

learning objectives:• Identify individuals at risk for behavioral

problems and key components of a comprehensive behavioral assessment.

• List specific strategies and interventions which address common behavioral problems in rehabilitation.

• Identify methods for ongoing education, assessment, and modification of behavioral interventions within a transdisciplinary team across the rehabilitation continuum of care.

• Explore caregiver education methodologies so they can adjust behavioral interventions to be effective for the community discharge transition.
