SCVBIC2015

SCVBIC2015

What a fabulous couple of days I had at the Santa Clara Valley Health Center Traumatic Brain Injury Conference (SCVTBIC) in San Jose, CA! It’s amazing how many great people can fit into one conference. I attended so many wonderful talks, spoke to so many nice, smart, people and once again realized how lucky I am to be involved in such a cool field.

I stumbled on some very interesting things during the conference, and to do them justice, they will be standalone posts. In the meantime, here are some highlights from my perspective.

 Robotics!

CTE!

Managing Fatigue!

Structured additions to environmental distractions!

SPECT!

Mapping the human brain!

Losing identity/partial death!

Will Smith!  

TSM!

Community support!

And, oh, all those nice, cool, interesting people I got to talk to. There are not enough exclamation marks in the world for them!

Please have a closer look at the agenda here SCVTBI2015, and do not miss this event the next time it’s in town.

Here we go! I am so excited to share my thoughts with the world! As developers of the iPad app Sanapsis, we love to share and discuss the ideas and things about Sanapsis with our users. As it is impossible to have separate ongoing conversations with all of you individually, we decided to start a blog!

In addition to Sanapsis we will talk about all kinds of things related to speech therapy with adult neurological patients (mainly aphasia and cognitive deficits) in this blog. A strong point of view will be the use of technology in therapy, and how the widespread use of technology is influencing our work with patients. Being situated in Silicon Valley does not hurt, right?

I am so much looking forward to this journey of blogging.  Hope to hear from you along the way!
