Cognitive Support Technology for Postsecondary Students With Traumatic Brain Injuries

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

In brief

This study will fill important knowledge gaps in the availability of best practices that use innovative methods to integrate the cognitive and vocational needs of students with TBI who will be transitioning from 2- and 4-year postsecondary education to employment. Best practices exist from the assistive technology (AT) field to help people compensate for cognitive impairments, and from the vocational rehabilitation (VR) field to enhance employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities. However, these practices have not been integrated to provide needed supports and services to improve the employment outcomes of students with TBI. The study's goal is to expand the availability of innovative practices by testing the efficacy of a technology-driven, long-term, and resource-rich individualized support program that merges assistive technology for cognition and vocational rehabilitation practices. The end products will include technology application guidelines, training and procedural manuals, and resource information that rehabilitation professionals and students with TBI can utilize to enhance technology and mentoring proficiency, academic success, self-determination, and long-term career success for students with TBI.
