Learn the impacts a brain injury can have on an individual.
Acquired brain injuries are not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or induced by birth trauma. The injury results in a change in neural activity, which affects the physical integrity, the metabolic activity, or the functional ability of nerve cells in the brain
What is ABI? How is the way the brain works in affected by ABI? What are some false assumptions that are made about ABI? What is a traumatic brain injury? What is the Glasgow Coma scale? What happens to my brain during a stroke? How can I assist a loved one after they suffered an ABI?
Our ABI course will help you to answer these questions and so much more.
Our Acquired Brain Injury course will help you to answer the questions above and so much more.
Through our Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) course you will gain an understanding of the function and the anatomy of the brain. You will develop an understanding of the impacts that brain injury can have on a person. You will identify strategies that will assist with ABI and recognise the importance of routines. You will learn how to create plans that will allow others to improve outcomes.
What you'll learn.
- The function and the anatomy of the brain.
- Defining brain injuries, its different causes and severity.
- The difference between excess behaviours and behavioural deficits.
- Develop the understanding of the impact of being a brain injury survivor
- Recognise the importance of routines.
- Identify strategies for errorless learning and understand its benefits.
- Create plans to improve outcomes.
Who is Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) for?
Our ABI course is for anyone who works with someone that has been through an ABI. This could be a loved one, or simply someone through a job. The course outlines issues and ways to assist those with ABI, so would be helpful to frontline staff as well as managers.
What are the learning outcomes?
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- State different functions and the anatomy of the brain.
- Define some brain injuries, their different causes and how they can vary in severity.
- Detail the difference between excess behaviours and behavioural deficits.
- Understand the impact of being a brain injury survivor.
- Recognise the importance of routines for those with ABI.
