Spirituality and Disability
Presenter: Tara Hallberg and Becca Stenzel, Reach for Resources
Oftentimes the recreation and leisure needs of individuals who have acquired a disability through brain injury are overlooked. While return to work and school are certainly important goals, quality of life can be greatly enhanced by how a person spends their leisure time. It has also been demonstrated that when individuals have leisure time and activities of interest to do, behavior issues are reduced or eliminated. Participants will gain knowledge on how to assess the recreation and leisure options for individuals living with a disability and the other considerations to a successful recreation and leisure plan.

Chronic Pain and Brain Injury
Presenter: David Lund, PhD, LCP, Sister Kenney Institute Brain Injury Clinic
Individuals who sustain brain injury often experience chronic pain as an outcome. This pain can take the shape of ongoing headaches, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) pain, orthopedic issues, hyper sensitivities, and more. Participants will learn how chronic pain can complicate recovery and reaching goals such as returning to work or quality of life issues. David will also discuss how chronic pain is diagnosed and the available treatment strategies.

Compensatory Strategies: Why, What and When
Presenter: Sue Newman, occupational therapist, Sister Kenney Institute Brain Injury Clinic
Individuals living with a brain injury generally benefit from learning various compensatory strategies to assist with activities of daily living. Professionals can support people with brain injury by understanding existing compensatory strategies and how to develop new strategies as the need arises. Work settings, residential settings, and community activities may all have more successful outcomes if the individual is equipped with an array of compensatory strategies.
