Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a tremendous impact on human productivity and is a major cost to society. People with a history of TBI and needing treatment services and support face additional challenges to both their independence and receipt of assistance. This project intends to train all Social Workers at OSU with the core competencies to identify and accommodate for disability due to TBI, and to replicate this model on a Statewide and National level.
Description
IMPACT. 1: We will raise the awareness of future professionals attending the OSU College of Social Work as well as other Social Work training programs in Ohio. -- 2. We will provide these students with new skills for identification and accommodation of TBI and associated Executive function weaknesses. -- 3. We will develop a plan for replication of this model in the curricula of other health and social service professionals throughout Ohio and across the nation.
