Despite the number of challenges they face every day, Isabella and her mother face them head on and work on her rehabilitation every day.

Certification is based on a comprehensive training manual that covers the following topics:  

  • Incidence and epidemiology of brain injury

  • Children  and adolescents with brain injury

  • Continuum of services

  • Health and medical management

  • Brain anatomy and brain-behavior relationships

  • Family issues

  • Functional impact of brain injury

  • Legal and ethical issues

  • Effective treatment approaches

 

*There are no ACBIS training workshops scheduled for 2012 at this time. For more information on obtaining ACBIS Certification, please contact Jessica Kerney at the Brain Injury Association of America by calling (703) 761-0750 ext. 631, or by e-mailing applications@biausa.org
