- Evidence-based research regarding the nature and efficacy of medical, clinical and educational rehabilitation of acquired brain injuries in children and adolescents,
- Development and implementation of rehabilitation protocols and programs for children and adolescents with acquired brain injuries from a medical as well as interdisciplinary (PT, OT, SLP) approach.
- Models of innovative systems, services and supports for children with ABI and their families, and
- Improving (international) collaboration on research, treatment and innovations for youth with ABI and their families
- Improving involvement of lived experiences and family experiences after ABI in rehabilitation care.
- How to better recognize, manage and treat mTBI/concussions in children/adolescents.
Who Should Attend?
The Conference will bring together multidisciplinary professionals with an interest in improving outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults with acquired brain injury and their families/caregivers.
Attendees will be comprised of physicians, neuropsychologists, therapists, allied health professionals, and brain injury advocates.
