The Neurorehabilitation Level 1 Online Training Program is Open for Registration!
This four day Certificate Training Program will provide you with information, techniques, strategies and interventions that will equip you to better support people with ABI. Some topics include:
- Introduction to Neurorehabilitation: Where brain and function meet
- Foundations of Neurorehabilitation
- Facilitating cognitive function in everyday life
- Behavioural challenges and facilitating participation in life roles
- Relationship building: Supporting engagement in social roles and developing adaptive social networks
- Risk management: Seeking a balance between protection and risk
Program Description:
The Level One certificate training program is intended to illustrate your role in the rehabilitation process as it contributes to the ‘big picture’ in the lives of individuals living with ABI. The information and techniques provided in this program will familiarize you with the functioning of the brain, and how behaviour becomes disrupted when there is an injury to the brain. We promote a “brain first” approach, meaning that we emphasize what is wrong and right with the brain and let that knowledge guide strategies and interventions which will facilitate neural recovery following injury, as well as the individuals’ day-to-day functioning and quality of life.
