Accommodating a person with a brain injury means that services are provided in a manner that takes into consideration the special needs of the individual. Survivors of brain injury often experience problems with the following:
-
Attention
-
Processing
-
Memory
-
Initiation
-
Impulsivity
-
Planning & Organization
-
Mental Flexibility
-
Self-Awareness
Service providers need to be aware of these symptoms as they can interfere with treatment. Providing accommodations creates an opportunity to address potential barriers to treatment success. Our web-based training module will help service providers learn to recognize symptoms of TBI and develop strategies for accommodating symptoms. Bulk quantities of our training booklet are available for purchase and may be used to supplement in-service presentations.
We are an approved provider of continuing education credits for the following:
-
Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board (1.0 hours)
-
Ohio Psychological Association (1.0 hours)
