Course Description:
Have you ever thought about why the brain and spinal cord don't heal the same way as other parts of the nervous system?This course examines the science of neuroplasticity and its critical role in brain injury rehabilitation. Participants will explore how the brain rewires itself after injury, why neuroplasticity is the primary mechanism for recovery, and how CNS and PNS healing differ biologically. Through real-world clinical applications, the course emphasizes how targeted, repetitive, and meaningful interventions can drive functional improvement. Attendees will leave with strategies to apply core neuroplasticity principles and support recovery through multidisciplinary therapy approaches.
Following the presentation, participants should be able to:
-
List at least 4 types of brain injuries
-
Identify the levels of behavior severity and examples of each level.
-
Discuss the impact of problem behaviors on rehabilitation.
-
Describe the Applied Behavior Analysis approach in behavior management.
-
Identify at least 5 basic diagnostic questions to help manage problem behavior.
