This has been a very popular
seminar in the past. By request, we have added a new section on
neuropharmacology and acquired brain impairment. The program
is an excellent opportunity to update your skills and knowledge base in
neurological rehabilitation. This program has been positively reviewed by
participants of many agencies, including the Rehabilitation Institute of
Chicago, the Ontario Brain Injury Association, and through numerous state
vocational rehabilitation agencies, including those in Delaware, Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, etc.
This current review of neurological vocational
rehabilitation practice (traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and multiple
sclerosis) is designed for vocational rehabilitation professionals,
psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, case managers, and other
health professionals, and graduate students in rehabilitation,
psychology, and allied studies. Dr.Fraser is a practicing
rehabilitation psychologist and counselor, and the focus of this seminar
is on "hands-on", applied vocational rehabilitation, planning, and
counseling strategies. Considerable use is made of in-depth
rehabilitation case studies and demonstration/practice of useful planning
and counseling techniques. A high degree of audience participation is
encouraged.
Examples of specific topics covered in this seminar:
Medical updates on TBI, Epilepsy and Multiple
Sclerosis Treatment
Neuropsychological And Vocational Assessment:
becoming familiar with basic neuropsychological constructs and tests.
Incorporating diverse vocational data in rehabilitation plans and
counseling strategies.
Job Development Strategies: a review
of five useful job development strategies, including the paid coworker as
