This session will focus on working with adults with acquired brain injury or ABI, an umbrella term which encompasses a broad range of conditions that affect the brain. ABI is sudden onset and likely to have major, long-lasting effects on the person and their family. Recovery can be a slow process.

Attend this session to: 

• Gain a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted issues an OT assessment should address in the context of ABI, including physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains

• Discover how OT interventions can support the improvement of motor function, cognitive skills, and participation in vocational and daily activities

• Learn strategies to help individuals and their families navigate the emotional, psychological, and behavioural impacts of ABI, and support meaningful adjustment to life after injury
