Review by: Member on March 21, 2013
Great and specific examples. Good evidence-based research references to support cognititive rehabilitation.
Review by: Member on March 20, 2013
Although the 'correct' answer to number nine was identified as "highway attention" rather than "highway concentration" that was on the answer sheet. I did feel that "Laser focus" could also have been used as a child friendly term. This made that item a bit confusing. However, I LOVED this course! She is has great examples. It was also organized very well and was pleasant to read. I really enjoyed it. My rating did decrease secondary to wording of question number 9.

It is a course that addresses function & with so many service men and women coming back with TBI we will need to be better able to assist them with the transition.

Very clear examples were given. Very well organized
Review by: Member on November 24, 2012
The course met the stated objectives and the information was presented in a clear and concise manner. The course was interesting to me, because I once had an adolescent student with TBI following a motorcycle and found that his school was not fully equipped to assist him during the day, although a paraeducator had been assigned to him and he had support from the school counselor. He did experience improvement in his functional skills, but was unable to adequately demonstrate self-regulatory skills in his everyday life as he entered adulthood.
