LIVING WELL with chronic brain injury across a lifespan

Wednesday, March 4, 2020

The Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Rd., Columbus, OH 43210

TBI crosses all segments of society and all demographic groups with far-reaching, life-long implications and, therefore, is properly
called CHRONIC DISEASE.  Optimal treatment takes a long-term view in order to prevent avoidable complications and promote
a quality of life and healthfulness at every age. 

This TBI SUMMIT offers the opportunity to hear from a multidisciplinary group of experts who provide both  the science and practices that bring best case solutions to advance therapeutic planning and service delivery  across the age spectrum such as  specific considerations of age of onset, human growth and development tasks that are affected by injury, financial
planning needs and routines of healthful living through the aging process.  

WHY ATTEND?  Hear from recognized experts in the fields of TBI treatment, neuroscience research, rehabilitation and chronic disease management in a program designed to integrate science and practice for better care and outcomes

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?  All those who are interested and/or involved in providing health services, rehabilitation, Education, community supports and services and employment opportunities for individuals of all ages with brain
injury and their families.  This includes public and private program administrators and providers, clinicians, advocates, individuals with brain injury, families and caregivers.
