Advanced Trainings

Every quarter a different topic in brain injury is presented through Advanced Trainings to encourage providers to expand their knowledge of the issues impacting individuals with brain injury.  The training is "advanced" in that it explores one specific area in brain injury in great detail.  The topics are chosen through feedback from providers.  The training is free of charge and is offered to all existing A.B.I. Waiver Providers. Certificates will be mailed to attendees at the conclusion of the training.
