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.

Connecting Practice to Data: Implementation Strategies to Increase Collection of Core Outcome Measures in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
2024-11-20 08:00 - 15:00 | Florida
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.

Learning Objectives

Explain the role of clinical data within the learning health system model.
Describe the EPIS framework and the role of process frameworks in implementation efforts.
Discuss the significance of implementation strategies in successful implementation efforts.

Emily 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.

The Neuroanatomy and Assessment of Language Disturbance in TBI
2024-12-05 03:00 - 17:00 | Florida
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.
Learning Objectives:

Explain the neuroanatomy of aphasia in TBI.
List the benefits of considering aphasia in TBI.
Describe clinical presentation and assessment of persons with aphasia due to TBI.

Kim 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.
Fee: $50 (includes 1 ACBIS CEU)

Brain Injury Awareness Month
2025-03-01 03:00 - 2025-03-31 13:00 | Florida
Brain Injury Awareness Month is observed every March to recognize and support people affected by brain injuries. Here are some ways to get involved:

Share your story

The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) encourages people affected by brain injury to share their stories.

Raise funds
You can raise funds for brain injury services, research, and support by starting a fundraiser or buying merchandise from the BIF online store.

Talk to your children
Parents can teach their children about head safety and encourage them to speak up if they experience a head injury.

Make your home safer
You can make your home safer for seniors by removing hazards like throw rugs, lighting up living spaces, and installing assistive devices.

Advocate
The BIAA has advocacy materials, including letter templates and issue briefs, to help you advocate for brain injury causes.

Brain injuries are often called a silent epidemic because many problems aren’t always obvious. Young people, children under 5, and adults over 75 are most likely to sustain brain injuries.

National Brain Aneuysm Month
2025-09-01 08:00 - 2025-09-30 17:00 | Florida
Brain aneurysms are health events that can potentially cause widespread damage in more extreme cases. This is a condition where the blood vessel walls begin to weaken in the brain. Over time, a bulge forms on the blood vessel, which can grow in size. If it ruptures, the leaked blood can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke.

However, brain aneurysms are more common than you might think, and most of them don’t progress to become damaging.

What makes them dangerous is that usually there are no symptoms. In many cases, people don’t learn that they have a brain aneurysm until they seek treatment for a different condition, and the bulges are detected during diagnostics like MRIs or CT scans.

The Summit program is curated to ensure high-level, evidence-informed dialogue across disciplines.

Building on two impactful years, the 2026 Summit will once again serve as a cross-sector platform where science meets lived experience — and where research translates into practical, measurable change.
From Repetitive Head Impacts (RHI) in youth athletics to Repeated Blast Exposure (RBE) in military service, this event advances the national conversation on prevention, diagnosis, treatment innovation, and systems reform.

This is not simply a conference.
It is a working summit focused on moving awareness into action.
