As a caregiver to a child who sustained a traumatic brain injury at the age of three, as well as being a survivor, Kelly Lang brings more than 20 years of experience navigating the medical, therapeutic, educational, therapeutic, social services, and societal areas of awareness. Brain injury is devastating not only for the patient but the whole family who suffers alongside their loved one. Kelly will share not only her unique perspective including her injury but also her husband’s experience walking along this path of uncertainty, loss, and hope. Their daughter, Olivia, will share her perception of having a brain injury at such an early age, coping with adversity as an adolescent and a young adult,  and learning how to embrace her disability without letting it define her. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the parents' perspective on living with a child with traumatic brain injury.
  • Upon completion, participants will identify the demeanor of a young adult who experienced a TBI during childhood.
  • Upon completion, participants will recognize the effects of a TBI experienced during childhood to adult life.
