Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Neuropsychological Perspective
Presented by: David Baker, Psy.D, ABPP-CN
Presented by: David Baker, Psy.D, ABPP-CN
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, is an increasingly common diagnosis that neuropsychologists encounter in their clinical practice. In fact, the assessment and management of youth mTBI or concussion is uniquely suited for neuropsychologists. This webinar will explore numerous aspects of pediatric mTBI, from injury to recovery, by examining the most current research and best practices in assessing and managing this common yet often misunderstood condition. Through careful exploration of the current literature on youth mTBI, discussion of best practices, and presentation of select case examples, the audience will gain a better understanding of this condition with the ultimate goal of improving pediatric mTBI outcomes.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the expected natural clinical course of concussion and list what factors can complicate recovery.
- Define the expected neurocognitive deficits following a concussion and their expected course.
- Distinguish between outdated and current evidence-based concussion management techniques.
- Evaluate their own concussion knowledge and practices and how they align with current research and evidence-based practices.
Target Audience: Clinical neuropsychologists who evaluate children, adolescents, or young adults
Instructional Level: Beginner to intermediate
