This webinar is designed for patients, families, and caregivers. The content of this two-hour webinar covers a basic introduction to the functions of the brain as it relates to the location of an individual’s stroke or brain injury and the subsequent changes in abilities/ behaviors that can be anticipated. Additional content that will be addressed includes the following: • General behavior management guide lines • The most commonly observed cognitive deficits • Changes in communication skills • The primary rehabilitation goals in the acute (early) stages of recovery • Resources for family/caregiver support • Handouts that can be printed and reviewed for permanent access to essential information.
