Cognitive Boot Camp is an online educational
program designed to provide structured cognitive
retraining for brain injury survivors.
This unique online program emphasizes evaluation
of cognitive skills, development of strategy building
to compensate for cognitive difficulties, psychosocial
adjustment, community integration and more.
A common thread throughout the program is the
utilization of a Personal Data Assistant (PDA).
Students are encouraged to use PDAs as a prosthetic
memory device to help with such things as scheduling
and homework for each of the classes in Cognitive
Boot Camp.
Cognitive Boot Camp Online Classes:
- Strategies for Using PDAs
- Cognitive Strategy Building
- A Family's Guide to Brain Injury
- Community Re-Integration

The online Caregivers Boot Camp provides caretakers
and significant others with information, support,
resources, and strategies for coping with changes
experienced after a family member sustains a brain
injury.
The courses in this boot camp contain content similar
to the courses offered in Cognitive Boot Camp. The
focus, however, is from the perspective of the caregiver
or family member and their unique set of needs as
they endeavor to help and support the brain injury
survivor.
The Caregivers Boot Camp curriculum is a pre-cursor
to a multi-disciplinary online vocational certificate
program being designed to meet the future standards
for Section 2 of the Heroes at Home Act-- Program on
Training and Certification of Family Caregiver Personal
Care Attendants for Veterans and Members of the
Armed Forces with Traumatic Brain Injury. |
