I sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (2000) from a car collision. My academic study in Education and professional employment provides an understanding of motivation. Experience as a TBI Survivor has provided an opportunity to apply motivational strategies to foster improvement during rehabilitation.
I also have practical experience working with TBI Survivors to understand how to maximize improvement in traumatic brain injury. The Jarvis Rehabilitation Method has been field tested and shown to have great potential for improvement through motivation.
