Description:

Because TBI affects all age ranges, occupational therapy practitioners are likely to encounter clients with acute or chronic effects of TBI in any practice setting. Occupational therapy practitioners who do not practice primarily with clients with TBI are challenged to keep up with the latest information. This basic introductory course will serve to provide a current update to occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants who are interested in providing evidence-based services to their clients with TBI. This course will provide current information on types and classifications of brain injuries as well as information on the treatment of performance skill impairments and occupational performance limitations commonly experienced by clients with TBI.

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC, 2017) reported that 2.9 million people were treated for TBI in 2014. Advances in medical care over the last 50 years have resulted in increased survival for clients with more severe injuries. This often results in patients experiencing long-lasting significant impairments and limitations in occupational performance. Recent research has suggested that TBI is not a single event that clients recover from but instead the beginning of a life-long condition. Because of the increased awareness of TBI arising from military conflict and sports-related injuries, research into TBI rehabilitation has increased significantly over the last 5 years. 

Learning Outcomes:

After completing this course, the learner will be able to:

  • Describe the major classifications, prevalence, and etiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI). 
  • Identify impairments related to TBI. 
  • Explain the effects of performance skill or client factors on occupational performance  
  • and participation. 
  • Select the appropriate evidence-based interventions to address performance skills or client factor impairments for individuals who have had TBI.
