Guest: Tiffany C. Gurley-Nettles, Ph.D., CCC-SLP - This course explores neuropsychology to understand behavior as it relates to the brain and the influences of illnesses or brain injuries on behavior and cognitive functions. Dr. Gurley-Nettles discusses how brain injury and behavioral and emotional changes emerge from the injury itself, the distress from adapting to the changes following the TBI, or a combination of the two. She highlights how clinical neuropsychologists have been instrumental clinically and scientifically in the identification of problems, signs, and symptoms of sports-related head injuries. Additionally, she addresses their involvement in the areas of effective treatment plans following the cognitive and behavioral assessment, as well as the facilitation of recovery monitoring, returning to sports, school, and community reentry.
