NASHI’s OBISSS

1:00pm‑2:00pm

When a brain injury goes uniden­ti­fied, indi­vid­u­als may expe­ri­ence dif­fi­cul­ty fol­low­ing instruc­tions, mem­o­ry chal­lenges, impul­siv­i­ty, slowed infor­ma­tion pro­cess­ing, and chal­lenges with emo­tion­al reg­u­la­tion. These impacts can be mis­un­der­stood as lack of moti­va­tion for change rather than rec­og­nized as neu­ro­log­i­cal effects. Iden­ti­fy­ing and address­ing the impacts of brain injury can improve out­comes and sup­port more effec­tive and indi­vid­u­al­ized treat­ment planning.

Devel­oped by the Nation­al Asso­ci­a­tion of State Head Injury Admin­is­tra­tors (NASHIA), the Online Brain Injury Screen­ing and Sup­port Sys­tem (OBISSS) is avail­able at no cost. This tool offers a stan­dard­ized, val­i­dat­ed, and acces­si­ble approach to iden­ti­fy­ing indi­vid­u­als who may have expe­ri­enced a brain injury. OBISSS also pro­vides prac­ti­cal com­pen­sato­ry strate­gies, sup­ports, and resources to pro­mote success.
