Presented by Angela Ciccia, PhD, CCC-SLP
Pediatric TBI: Issues of Policy and Access
This course will explore factors that contribute to the difficulties children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families experience in accessing rehabilitation services for cognitive-communication disorders. Specifically, the course will discuss how and why children with TBI experience difficulties in accessing services, including a discussion of the impact of health care and educational policy. The course will then discuss specific ways to support change and improvement in access to care for pediatric TBI in daily practice for the individual clinician across a variety of levels.
Clinical Considerations in Pediatric TBI: Assessment
Presented by Angela Ciccia, PhD, CCC-SLP
Clinical Considerations in Pediatric TBI: Assessment
This course will review basic principles in pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), including incidence/prevalence, the relationship between development and traumatic brain injury, and the process of habilitation and rehabilitation in pediatric TBI. To build on this foundational information, the course will review the application of the International Classification of Functioning and Disability (ICF) framework to the assessment of cognitive-communication disorder following TBI and provides specific assessment recommendation across ICF areas. This course concludes by reviewing a case study of a 3-year old boy with TBI, highlighting the salient learner outcomes of the course.
Clinical Considerations in Pediatric TBI: Treatment
Presented by Angela Ciccia, PhD, CCC-SLP
Clinical Considerations in Pediatric TBI: Treatment
This course will focus on current trends in the treatment of cognitive-communication disorders in pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), and identify evidence-based approaches for treatment in the population. Following an introduction to basic EBP principles in cognitive rehabilitation, the course will identify treatment recommendations for specific cognitive-communication deficits. The course will then discuss simple and immediate ways that you can update your clinical practice to include evidenced-based approaches and will conclude with an interview with a family that focuses on their treatment experience with their 7 year old son's brain injury.
