General Impact on the Brain (HS - ALL - 064880)

Course overview

Learn more about the "invisible injuries." Cognitive declines are secondary to traumatic brain injury and concussion. We'll discuss the difference between post-concussion syndrome or other functional neurological disorders and more severe cognitive impairment, as well as the overlap of emotional and physical sequelae. Sherrie All, PhD, will present the mechanics of traumatic brain injury, discuss the cognitive skills most commonly impaired, and the confounding effects of fatigue, mood and anxiety on cognitive performance. You will walk away with a stronger understanding and a stronger toolbox of referral and intervention skills.
