Transitioning Home: Considerations & Strategies to Support Ongoing Success

You will receive certificate for one CEU hour on completion of the video and the evaluation. 

Description

The needs of individuals and their caregivers following a brain injury extend beyond the walls of the hospital. The transition home is a challenging and delicate time as a new normal is discovered and accepted. This transition can be particularly challenging for individuals with severe cognitive impairments or aphasia. The intricacies of acclimating back into home life can be difficult to predict for professionals who are unfamiliar with a patient’s environment and lifestyle. This presentation will include a discussion regarding the need for holistic and tailored education for individuals transitioning home. Participants will also learn practical clinical strategies to provide to patients and caregivers helping to support ongoing success.
