  6. AHCPR Evidence-Based Practice Report • 1.Should interdisciplinary rehabilitation begin during acute hospitalization for TBI? • 2.Does the intensity of inpatient interdisciplinary rehabilitation affect long-term outcomes? • 3.Does the application of cognitive rehabilitation enhance outcomes for persons who sustain TBI? • 4.Does the application of supportive employment enhance outcomes for persons with TBI? • 5.Does the provision of long-term care coordination enhance the general functional status of persons with TBI?

  7. Needs in Cognitive Rehabilitation Research • Establish and evidence base for clinical practice • Incorporate knowledge from experimental psychology: errorless learning, imagery, etc. • Adopt new technologies: adaptive learning, VR, multi-modal presentation, cueing strategies, etc.

  8. Range of Current Research on Cognition Supported by NCMRR • Cognitive Rehabilitation for TBI • “Talking Lights” • fMRI & EP especially in recovery • VR and driving • Rehabilitation of cognitive symptoms in MS • Cognitive rehabilitation--acquired dyslexia • Problem solving in acquired brain damage
