Live Webinar Date: 8/17/21 Our schools experienced an overnight virtual paradigm shift during 2020 due to the pandemic. Although many schools are returning to in-person instruction, many aspects of virtual learning are here to stay. Therefore, it is essential to understand the pros and cons of virtual learning related to educating students who experience a brain injury. This training will help school staff and parents understand students' unique online learning needs following an acquired brain injury, including concussion. We will delve into the benefits and drawbacks of online learning for students after a brain injury. The presenter will also share brain injury-related strategies to support students around the hot topics of screen time, digital organization, executive functions, mental health, and more!
