The Conference hosts 300 attendees including professionals,
educators, persons with brain injury, family members, students
and volunteers. Attendees to the conference have varying levels
of experience in working with or living with brain injuries. The
Conference is designed to ensure that attendees leave with
improved knowledge of effective strategies, best practices and
the latest information.

Dr. Rick Parente will be the Opening Keynote Speaker. His
presentation, entitled Cognitive Rehabilitation: Efficacy Based
Treatment, will summarize existing research that evaluates the
efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation therapy.

Chris Kaag, founder of IM ABLE, an organization whose goal is
to help individuals with disabilities find the physical fitness modality
that meets their needs, will deliver a keynote presentation about his
work. With handcycles, racing chairs, adaptive skis and other
advancements in technology, it is possible for anyone who has a
disability to increase their fitness level. Staying active benefits not
only the body but also the mind, and the IM ABLE Foundation
endeavors to help disabled individuals achieve the goal of physical
and mental well-being.

Pat Martino, national renowned jazz guitarist who had a severe brain
aneurysm requiring neurosurgery, will speak about his experience.
Learn more about Pat, his music, and his remarkable recovery. We
will be showing a film featuring Pat at the conference on Monday
evening at 7:30 PM.
