EPISODE TITLE: Seeing Clearly Again: Occupational Therapy’s Impact After Mild TBI-Part 1

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, Doro and Deb talk with returning guest, Suzanne Briggs, OTD, OTR/L, Remedial Vision Certified, about vision rehab for individuals who’ve experienced mild TBI. We covered a lot of ground in this informative episode. We discussed:

• Suzanne’s doctoral experience and some lessons she learned along the way


• Why she’s chosen not to be called “doctor”


• Symptoms experienced by mTBI survivors and the effect on occupational performance


• Common symptoms of vision dysfunction


• Assessments Suzanne uses to determine deficit areas and her reasons for using these assessments
