BRAIN BOOK^® System, Inc. has worked with a number of professionals, in a number of ways. We can make the BRAIN BOOK^® System available to your clients as a product (which would be taught by you or your staff). We can provide staff support in the form of on-premises training. Or we can provide support remotely via the Internet.

Many of BRAIN BOOK^®'s student's scores on traditional assessments were so low the professionals in their lives predicted they would never be able to learn to use "such a complex program." This was (happily) not the case. On the other hand, "high scores" are not necessarily good predictors for success either, as much as someone with a "mild" or "moderate" diagnosis might benefit.

BRAIN BOOK^® System staff, along with their consulting psychologist, can help you determine whether the BRAIN BOOK^® System's program is likely to benefit one or more of your patients with brain injury. We have learned that traditional, standardized assessments need to be supplemented with assessment tools designed to specifically focus on a person's willingness and ability to learn compensatory skills. BRAIN BOOK^® System's "Skills in Action" Asessment does this.

In some cases, a person may score as low as beneath the 1st percentile and end up being successful with the BRAIN BOOK^® System's program. Others who are diagnosed with "mild" injury and score in the average or above average range, as compared the general population, attempt the program and fail. BRAIN BOOK^® System's "Skills in Action" Assessment can help you determine where your patient is likely to fit into this broad range.

Please take a look at our Fact Sheet and our "Skills in Action" Assessment, for further screening and evaluation guidelines. Feel free to contact Michael O'Connell, Ph.D. (Rogue Valley Psychological Associations), with questions. Dr. O'Connell has experience counseling consumers who use the BRAIN BOOK^® System and also oversees administration of the "Skills in Action" Assessment. Contact him via e-mail at .

  BRAIN-EDU E-mail Discussion List
As a public service, BRAIN BOOK^® System offers an e-mail discussion list for professionals, educators and parents of young persons with brain injury. Participation is free of charge. Membership to BRAIN-EDU is open to anyone with a serious interest in discussing brain injury education and treatment options.

BRAIN-EDU is an open list, meaning archives of past messages are available to anyone with access to the World Wide Web. Click here to see the archives.

  ASSIST-TBI Support List
ASSIST-TBI is a closed list, meaning that messages are only available to members of the list. ASSIST-TBI is a support and discussion list that was originally set up for family members. Over the years, the list has expanded to include professionals with an interest in helping families. Interested clinicians are invited to join the ASSIST-TBI Support List.

  TBI-TEACHING and TBI-COACHING Lists
BRAIN BOOK System teaches skills on-line, via the TBI-TEACHING e-mail discussion list. A separate list (TBI-COACHING) is available for skills trainers or professionals with an interest in how BRAIN BOOK^® System skills are taught. By joining these lists, you will be able to see first-hand how skills are taught by BRAIN BOOK^® System staff.
