September 28-29, 2006

The conference will feature a keynote speaker each day, followed by four hour-long workshop periods offering as many as five concurrent sessions on wide-ranging topics.

Keynote speakers:

Jean Langlois, ScD, MPH, Senior Epidemiologist, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA  (Thursday, Sept. 28th at 9 AM)

Claudia Osborn, DO, FACOI, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, Michigan State University, and author of Over My Head, A Doctor’s Own Story of Head Injury from the Inside Looking Out   (Friday, Sept. 29th at 8:45 AM)

Workshops addressing government initiatives promoting "systems change" to improve individual choice and access to services and supports for individuals with disabilities (regardless of the cause) will be of special interest. This is particularly true in Ohio, since there is no dedicated "system" or state agency addressing the needs of individuals with TBI. Naturally, workshops on state-of-the-art research and interventions promoting optimal independence, day-to-day coping strategies, better understanding of TBI, and approaches to avoid common pit-falls also will factor into the equation to make Conference 2006 a successful one. Last, but certainly not least, attendees can count on a series of "lighter fare" workshops just for their fun and enjoyment.
