The
First International Conference on Culture, Ethnicity, and
Brain Injury
Rehabilitation
Location: Marriott Crystal City Hotel, Washington, D.C. area
Rehabilitation providers often struggle in their efforts to effectively serve survivors and family members who come from very different cultures and speak different languages. This conference will bring together brain injury rehabilitation experts from different countries and cultures to discuss and share ideas regarding effective assessment, intervention, and research practices. A full spectrum of topics relating to neurobehavioral, cognitive, functional, vocational, psychosocial, family, and medical aspects of rehabilitation will be addressed via lectures, workshops, panel presentations, and posters. Presentations will also focus on health disparities and successfully conducting research with multi-ethnic populations.
