Addressing Patient Behavior by Brain Lesion Site: Clinical Tools Specific to Patient Deficits

$169.99 Standard

Simplify the complexity of neuroanatomy as you form a clear understanding of the clinical implications of how you can work around compromised structures in the brain.
Viewers of this recorded session will develop:

  • A framework for navigating the recovery pathway for each type of lesion
  • Clinical implications for abrupt visual changes and an in-depth understanding of the difference between visual field cuts and neglect
  • Simple modifications to your interventions that will streamline your treatment time and accelerate patient outcomes

Build confidence as you unlock the keys to working with behavior barriers and engagement.

Jerome Quellier, MS, CCC-SLP

Toggle speaker biography

Mr. Quellier is a retired clinical specialist in traumatic brain injury and communication disorders from a 450+ bed level 1 trauma hospital in Saint Paul, MN with over 28 years of acute, residential, and outpatient rehabilitation experience. Throughout his career, he focused on neuro-based diagnostics and intervention for dysphagia, cognitive-linguistic deficits, head and neck cancer management, patient advocacy, and curriculum development. Mr. Quellier completed advanced training in brain dissection at Marquette University, actively engaged in curriculum creation and staff development training, and collaborated with a neurosurgery team in preserving language function during tumor resections.

Mr. Quellier is excited to bring this topic to the forefront after working with the interdisciplinary team’s challenges in understanding the “what and why” of aberrant cognitive control that places patients at heighten dysphagia risk.
