SUMMARY:The Neuroanatomy and Assessment of Language Disturbance in TBI
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive-communication disturbance following traumatic brain injury (TBI) has historically been well characterized\, along with recommendations for assessment and treatment. Approaches often focus on underlying disorders of attention\, memory\, and executive functioning and their impact on communication behaviors\, especially in the chronic stages of recovery. Another cognitive domain\, language\, is often underrecognized in these approaches\, and recommendations for management in the acute stage of neurorehabilitation are lacking\, leaving clinicians in the inpatient rehabilitation setting with uncertainty about how to work with this population. In this clinical webinar\, Kim Frey\, Ph.D.\, CCC-SLP\, CBIS will review findings from a 3-year study investigating acute post-traumatic language disturbance (aPTLD) in an inpatient neurorehabilitation setting. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain the neuroanatomy of aphasia in TBI.\nList the benefits of considering aphasia in TBI.\nDescribe clinical presentation and assessment of persons with aphasia due to TBI.\n\nKim Frey\, Ph.D.\, CCC-SLP\, CBIS\, holds a dual Doctorate in Cognitive Science and Speech\, Language\, & Hearing Sciences and has directed the Speech-Language Pathology department at Craig Hospital in Englewood\, CO since 2012. Clinically\, she has worked in the inpatient neurologic rehabilitation setting since 1995\, including developing and directing an intensive aphasia program. Dr. Frey has researched\, published\, and presented on behavioral\, cognitive\, and communication impairment due to stroke\, traumatic brain injury\, and viral illness. \nFee: $50 (includes 1 ACBIS CEU)

SUMMARY:Connecting Practice to Data: Implementation Strategies to Increase Collection of Core Outcome Measures in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
DESCRIPTION:Capturing analyzable data about clinical care as a by-product of care is a foundational component of learning from practice in a learning health system. But capturing meaningful data that can be analyzed may require focused implementation efforts. In this research webinar\, Emily Evans\, PT\, DPT\, Ph.D.\, and Stacey Zalanowski\, PT\, DPT\, will describe the process undertaken by one inpatient rehabilitation facility to improve the collection of performance-based physical function outcome measures included in a core set of outcome measures recommended by the American Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy. They will describe the process using the Exploration\, Preparation\, Implementation\, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework\, and Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) taxonomy of implementation strategies. \nLearning Objectives \n\nExplain the role of clinical data within the learning health system model.\nDescribe the EPIS framework and the role of process frameworks in implementation efforts.\nDiscuss the significance of implementation strategies in successful implementation efforts.\n\n\nEmily Evans\, PT\, DPT\, Ph.D. is an assistant professor and health services researcher in the Department of Physical Therapy at Boston University\, as well as a per diem physical therapist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. She has a combined 18 years of experience in brain injury rehabilitation as a physical therapist\, case manager\, and researcher. Her research involves close collaboration with clinicians and health systems\, utilizing observational data and implementation methods to support improvements in care delivery and outcomes. \nStacey Zalanowski\, PT\, DPT is the Rehabilitation Manager of the Stroke and Pediatric Programs at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston\, MA. She has worked with the neurological population for over 20 years in a variety of healthcare settings but predominantly in inpatient rehabilitation facilities. As a member of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital advancing practice committee\, she has experience in guiding quality improvement efforts to improve care quality in inpatient rehabilitation settings and led the facility’s effort to increase the collection of standardized functional outcome measures within the facility. \nFee: $50 (includes 1 ACBIS CEU)

SUMMARY:Taking the First Step\, No Matter How Small
DESCRIPTION:In this Butch Alterman Memorial webinar\, Nick Prefontaine shares his brain injury survival story. He suffered a brain injury in a snowboarding accident and was in a coma for three weeks. His parents were told that he probably wouldn’t be able to walk\, talk\, or eat on his own ever again. He utilized a system\, the S.T.E.P. system\, to not only make a full recovery but run out of the hospital. S.T.E.P. stands for: Support\, Trust\, Energy\, and Persistence. Learn how anyone can use the S.T.E.P. system to get through their trauma and thrive.

SUMMARY:A New Clinical Approach to Treating Anger after Brain Injury
DESCRIPTION:In this David Strauss Clinical webinar\, Dawn Neumann\, Ph.D.\, FACRM will describe newly identified factors\, known as negative attributions\, that significantly contribute to anger and aggression after brain injury. Dr. Neumann will demonstrate two assessments that can be used to clinically evaluate a patient’s tendency toward negative attributions and describe a new clinical approach for treating anger and aggression associated with negative attributions called Intervention to Change Attributions that are Negative (ICAN). \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain what negative attributions are and their relation to anger and aggression after brain injury.\nDiscuss assessments that can be used to evaluate patients for negative attribution style thinking.\nDescribe the ICAN approach to treating anger and aggression.\n\nIncludes 1 ACBIS CEU. \nSpeaker Bio \nDawn Neumann\, PhD\, FACRM is a tenured Associate Professor at the University of South Florida in the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair. She has a PhD in Rehabilitation Science from SUNY Buffalo\, NY and her MA in Psychology from Rutgers\, NJ. Her research aims to advance the understanding and treatment of social cognition and emotion dysregulation deficits after traumatic brain injury. She serves on the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation editorial review board\, and has received several recognitions\, including the ACRM Deborah Wilkerson Award\, ACRM Mitchell Rosenthal Award\, and the Joshua Cantor Scholar Award.
