BI-ISIG "Long-term Issues" Task Force

Chair/Co-Chairs: Tina M. Trudel, PhD & Austin Errico, PhD

Focus: The Long-Term Issues Task Force (LTITF) is focused on all aspects of aging with brain injury. The LTITF has a biopsychosocial orientation and examines issues of health, wellness, prevention, quality of life, interventions, environments, neuropsychology and public policy implications as they pertain to aging with brain injury. The LTITF has diverse transdisciplinary and researcher participation, and seeks to produce chapters, articles, reviews, research, guidelines and best practices products on aging with brain injury and long term outcome.
