This two-day workshop provides an opportunity for health care professionals to gain insight into treating the individual who is lower functioning, bilaterally involved and/or in the early stages of recovery post-stroke or brain injury. Treating the individual who is lower functioning can often be very challenging for the clinician. This workshop will explore treatment strategies to promote recovery in these individuals, the current theoretical evidence, as well as common primary impairments. The overall objective of this workshop is to provide clinicians with knowledge and skills they can use in treating the individual who is lower functioning post-stroke or brain injury, to achieve positive functional outcomes.
