More
than just a bump on the head! A
free Seminar. Though not always
visible and sometimes seemingly minor, head injury is complex. It can cause
physical, cognitive, social, and vocational changes. In many cases recovery
becomes a lifelong process of adjustments and accommodations for the individual
and the family.
Depending on the extent and location of the
injury, impairments caused by a head injury can vary widely. The irony
of mild head injuries is that often, such injuries do not even require
a hospital stay, yet they result in changes so profound that lives are
forever changed.
Some common impairments include difficulties
with memory, mood, and concentration. Others include significant deficits
in organizational and reasoning skills, learning, cognitive, and executive
functions.
Recovery from a head injury can be inconsistent.
In many cases gains may be closely followed by setbacks and plateaus. A
"plateau" is not evidence that functional improvement has ended. Typically
plateaus are followed by gains.
Changes
in memory and organizational skills after a brain injury makes it difficult
to function in complex environments. This Free Seminar is designed
to help you understand how daily routines and life in general may be affected
by brain injury. Bring your friends and family, meet the experts and
learn how to restore reason and stability to your life.
