Your Brain Injury Recovery Team
In addition to navigating the day to day impact of a brain injury and all of the accompanying challenges, knowing what providers are available and the roles each of them can play in the recovery process can be equally confusing. With abbreviations like O.T., PT. , SLP, MSW, RN, RT, and NeuroPsychs, The "alphabet soup" can be both confusing and overwhelming.
This series of podcasts seek to clarify these roles by interviewing leaders in each of their professions about what their role is in the brain injury treatment and recovery process, how they work in the recovery team, and how they personally entered into the brain injury recovery world.
In addition, each podcast concludes with a review of stories, resources, and information provided in BIAMD's weekly electronic newsletter, #5Thoughts Friday.

What if There's a Brain Injury?
Specialty Training Developed in Cooperation with
the National Association of Head Injury Administrators and
the University of Ohio
the National Association of Head Injury Administrators and
the University of Ohio
While public awareness of TBI has shifted dramatically since it was dubbed “a silent epidemic” in 1980, appreciation of its effects has not garnered the attention of healthcare professionals and Skilled Nursing Facility staffs outside of rehabilitation. Particularly, with many health specialists, a gap remains in knowledge about TBI, understanding its implications for physical and behavioral health conditions, and active consideration of treatment implications. This overview is intended as an initial attempt to briefly summarize key elements of the disorder and speak to the multiple points of convergence with behavioral health concerns, substance abuse, and physical complications.
