BI-ISIG "Prognosis after TBI" Task Force

Chair/Co-Chairs: Rose Biester, PhD and David Krych, MS-CCC-SLP

Focus: The PROGNOSIS TASK FORCE has developed a Likert scale questionnaire for individuals who have sustained a BI and another for significant others, to help determine the kinds of information people received about potential sequeli of their injuries, early in their treatment. The scales are ready for field review and preliminary plans have been made to present one of the scales to a BI support group in Fairfax Va. in June. The feedback we receive will give us direction in terms of readability and meaningfulness of the various items. Our goal is an analysis of the scale that can help identify areas that need more focus in terms of information dissemination.

Meet: The taskforce meets via teleconference the first Thursday of each month from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
