International Conference History~  Brain injury has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world, including developing countries.  Researchers report that many survivors have difficulty returning to normal lives.  High rates of neurobehavioral difficulties, cognitive impairment, physical limitations, and unemployment have been reported by international researchers.  Immigration and globalization have contributed to diversity.  Clinicians are often challenged trying to provide services to persons who speak different languages and who are from different cultures.
 
Prior brain injury conferences have invited faculty and participants from different countries and cultures.  Our conference is the first to focus entirely on ethnicity, cultural issues, and brain injury.  Presentations will focus on clinical program development, achieving optimal outcomes in multi-ethnic communities, and research methodology.
