Recent Continuing Education Workshops on Brain Injury
Social-Emotional Problems Following Brain Injury Are Real Neurological Symptoms:
What Neuroscientists Are Discovering.
Program Highlights:
Participants learned:
- To understand personality change & the common social and emotional consequences of
traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- The brain circuitry for many social and emotional processes, and how
those circuits are affected by TBI.
- To understand why these social and emotional consequences of TBI are neurological symptoms,
just like memory loss or language deficits.
- Research on effective rehabilitation strategies for social changes following
TBI.

Summer 2011 Continuing Education Workshops on Brain Injury
New Methods For Assessing Social Dysfunction Following TBI
Program Highlights:
Participants who completed this workshop:
- Understood existing evidence and assessments for measuring social/emotional competence
following TBI that they might not have been aware of.
- Learned about new assessments for social/emotional competence being developed for
use in TBI.
- Understood how the neural circuitry for social/emotional competence differs from
the neural circuitry for cognitive competence, thus requiring different assessment
techniques to demonstrate disability.
- Understood ways to assess social/emotional functioning objectively so that benchmarks
for rehabilitation can be tracked with precision, and so that families can be educated
in what to expect following TBI.
Dates & Locations
