Adult Sample Packet of Tip Cards

Qualification Level: U (not required)

Sample packet of tip cards on brain injury in adults covers helping families, concussion, trauma, medication, communication, behaviour, social skills, substance abuse, sexuality, community integration, college and working.

Full Description

Brain injury affects children and adults differently, so we offer two Sample Packets.

They are called "Tip Cards" because of the emphasis on checklists and suggestions for what to do. All are written in clear language for families, teachers and advocates, as well as clinicians.

They are designed for in-services, training programmes, information packets and easy reference by staff and families. All tip cards are written by experts and based on recent research, literature and current clinical practices. Too few people have access to scientific and academic journals. We have taken out the jargon and translated information into practical, user-friendly pamphlets that we call tip cards. Sample packets are a great way to see the full range of topics.

Just click on the contents tab for a listing of all the Tip Cards in the Adult Sample Packet.
