WORDS FROM OUR PRESIDENT

It is with much pleasure that I share my first ‘words from the president’ with you. I would like to begin by formally thanking Prof Tamara

Ownsworth for her tireless contribution as president. Tamara’s leadership in the presidential role has been magnificent and she has steered our ship with great vision, expertise and poise, not to mention her energising sense of fun! I’m certainly very fortunate to have her wisdom on call as our past president. I would also like to acknowledge the exceptional work of our outgoing past president Professor David Shum and warmly welcome our new president elect Prof Robyn Tate, already well known to you all for her enduring contribution as a founding co-editor of Brain Impairment.

It was indeed an honour to take on the presidential role in the midst of our 40th annual Brain Impairment Conference. What a resounding success our 40th celebration was! I extend a huge thank-you to Dr Dana Wong who so generously and skilfully convened this milestone event and to Margaret Eagers who yet again showed that her organisational prowess is without match. As the wonderful 40th slips into our long-term memory, the 41st will be upon us before we know it. Connecting and collaborating - a perfect theme for an ASSBI conference. Please put your heads together now to collaborate with colleagues and submit your abstracts to share with us in Adelaide.

Now let me draw your attention to the professional development program for the remainder of 2017. We have workshops and webinars covering a broad range of interests for all from e-health, through medico-legal work, to activities of daily living skill retraining culminating with rare and unusual syndromes.

ASSBI is committed to making a difference in the lives of people with brain impairment. I look forward to working

towards our vision with you all and to build on the foundations so firmly laid over the last 40 years.

Best wishes, Jacinta Douglas, President

NEWS We would like to congratulate Professor Jennie Ponsford, ASSBI Secretary and Fellow was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in recognition of her service to the field of neuropsychology through seminal advances in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with traumatic brain injuries in the Queen’s Honours this year. ARTICLE published in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Honan, Cynthia A., McDonald, Skye., Tate, Robyn., Ownsworth, Tamara., Togher, Leanne., Fleming, Jennifer., Anderson, Vicki., Morgan, Angela., Catroppa, Cathy., Douglas, Jacinta., Francis, Heather., Wearne, Travis., Sigmundsdottir, Linda., Ponsford, Jennie

Outcome Instruments in Moderate-to-Severe Adult Traumatic Brain Injury: Recommendations for use in Psychosocial Research What the project was about The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) ‘Moving Ahead’ Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Brain Recovery was established in 2012 to address issues related to psychosocial rehabilitation of individuals following traumatic brain injury (TBI) from a multidisciplinary perspective (see McDonald et al., 2012). One aim of the CRE was to develop a coherent framework within which to guide the activities of researchers addressing psychosocial functioning and remediation following TBI. Part of this framework involved recommending outcome instruments for psychosocial research, more specifically: (1) assisting researchers with the selection of appropriate instruments for the type of study being conducted, and (2) aligning the research activities across TBI research centres and across disciplines (e.g., speech pathology, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, social work, neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology). A major benefit of these recommendations is increased cross-centre collaboration and data-pooling, which in turn would assist in improving the quality and compatibility of research into psychosocial functioning following TBI. In response to these CRE aims, this project aimed to identify a set of adult outcome instruments for moderate-to-severe TBI psychosocial research. What we did

A review of 115 instruments (identified through nomination, literature search, international expert opinion) was conducted over a 15-month period by the Moving Ahead CRE Outcome Measure Working Group. This group comprised 12 internationally renowned clinical researchers from research institutions across Australia, all of whom have substantial expertise in assessing and researching psychosocial outcomes following TBI. The working group comprised speech pathology, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, and clinical neuropsychology. Eleven psychosocial areas were examined: Global Outcome, Communication, Social Cognition, Behavioural and Executive Function, Other Neuropsychological Functioning, Psychological Status, TBI-related Symptoms, Activities and Participation, Support and Relationships, Sense of Self, and Health-related Quality of Life. Individual instruments were considered against selection guidelines, and specific measures that best met the guidelines were identified as core (common across all studies), supplemental (dependent on study type) or emerging. Recommendations were made for early recovery, intervention, and outcome (post-acute) study types. What we found In total, 56 instruments were recommended. They included three Global Outcome, eight Communication, two Social Cognition, three Behavioural and Executive Function, seven Other Neuropsychological Functioning, seven Psychological Status, four TBI-related Symptoms, six Activities and Participation, five Support and Relationships, seven Sense of Self, and four Health-Related Quality of Life, instruments. They were classified also in accordance with the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Functioning taxonomy and were consistent with the identified ICF core sets for individuals with TBI. What next The recommendations provide guidance on the use of outcome instruments by researchers conducting psychosocial research in individuals with a moderate-to-severe TBI. These recommendations represent a significant advance in the forging of a strong research environment by building research capacity in psychosocial function after TBI. By using a common set of instruments that have been judged by a panel of experts to be most appropriate for psychosocial research, researchers can

enhance their research efforts and findings. The use of a common set of recommended outcomes, in particular, will better allow research outcomes to be compared, and allow data to be pooled so that significantly larger samples can be collectively examined. Future amendments to these recommendations will allow for the accommodation of new emerging instruments and new emerging areas of psychosocial research. Honan, C.

CORPORATE PARTNERS An update from our Corporate Partners, Shine Lawyers Your Quick Guide to NDIS eligibility Jamie Shine, National Special Counsel

The rollout of the NDIS has been the focus of much discussion at recent conferences we have attended, with eligibility the main concern for service providers.

Eligibility for the NDIS is assessed on a case by case basis and the focus is on the permanence of the disability and how it impairs a person’s functional capacity and their capacity for social and economic participation.

The kinds of supports that are funded by the NDIS are also assessed based upon the individual participant’s needs. Examples of support services that could be made available to your clients include everything from home and vehicle modifications, therapeutic aids and equipment to daily help with personal care, house cleaning and gardening.

To help ASSBI members make informed decisions we have put together a Quick Guide to the NDIS criteria.

For a look at the more detailed fact sheet please click here.

Should you have any questions regarding the NDIS or the eligibility of your clients, please don’t hesitate to reach out - 0421 951 810 or jlshine@shine.com.au. Any questions please reach out!

2017 Workshops #assbiworkshops

Jessica Trevena-Peters, Jennie Ponsford and Adam McKay will be giving a full day training workshop in Melbourne for OT’s on 9th October entitled: An evidence-based intervention for activities of daily living skill retraining. This workshop will also be streamed around the country – there will be 2 payment tiers, one for attendance in Melbourne and one for streaming. Click here for more information and to register.

Workshop Overview | Medico-Legal Work: Everything you need to know from the report to the court room Clinicians and treatment providers may feel apprehensive about entering the world of Medico-Legal reporting. This reluctance can stem from grappling with the reporting requirements, or inexperience in the Court room. In order to overcome such reservations, ASSBI and Shine Lawyers have developed a detailed workshop to provide practitioners with insight into the Medico-Legal process - from the structure of the report, through to giving evidence at trial.

The workshop will follow a logical process starting with the assessment of the client and preparation of the report. This will include recommendations regarding the report’s structure, contents and expert opinion. From there, the workshop will discuss the process of preparing for trial, appearing in Court, giving evidence and being cross-examined.

The workshop will be delivered from the perspective of a provider, an instructing lawyer and a barrister, to provide allied health and medical health professionals with a holistic understanding of Medico-Legal work. The session will formally conclude at 5:00PM, followed by drinks and nibbles hosted by Shine Lawyers which will allow attendees and presenters to engage in a social environment.

This workshop will be held in Sydney on 6th, Perth on 12th, Brisbane on 20th and Melbourne on 27th of October Click here for information on Venues, Speakers and to Register

Dr Caroline Ellis-Hill Caroline is a Senior Lecturer in Qualitative Research at Bournemouth University, England in the UK. Having a clinical background in

4

occupational therapy and a PhD in psychology, she has a long-standing interest in sense of self and identity in acquired brain injury and has written on the topic over the last 15 years. Since working at Bournemouth University Caroline’s’ research focus has been humanising practices – considering what makes us feel human; which is linked with a sense of connection and wellbeing; building on the philosophical work by previous academics at the University. Using this approach Caroline has completed two major research projects involving the use of arts following a stroke and looking at how we can humanise services in acute care. Through this research, Caroline and her colleagues are developing a new approach to rehabilitation: that of lifeworld-led rehabilitation where the subjective, lifeworld experience of both service users and providers are combined to form the basis for understanding and service delivery, allowing a fully human response within care and rehabilitation services. Caroline will be presenting a half-day Workshop entitled: Working alongside people following brain injury: a ‘hands on’ exploration of human connection and sense of wellbeing and a one-hour Keynote presentation entitled: Lifeworld-led rehabilitation – a new approach to support psychosocial wellbeing following brain injury
