This course is geared towards community providers, behavioral health workers, social workers, vocational rehabilitation counselors, community rehabilitation provider staff, addictions professionals, etc.

Participants will be exposed to neuropsychological screening batteries and a cognitive screening test. That includes a computerized neurocognitive test [CNT] called the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metric [ANAM], a paper and pencil test called the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery, and a readily available single-page screening tool called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]).

In the third module, interpretation and report writing will be addressed in the context of the Colorado TBI screening model which will be covered in detail.  Research on the Colorado TBI Model will be reviewed. Example reports and client summaries will be available to participants.

Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion and a virtual badge to promote the completion of the course.
