Advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology now provide objective tools to assess cognitive readiness, optimize recovery pathways, and support workplace reintegration. This session explores cutting-edge assessment methods, such as neurophysiological to help leaders make informed decisions about accommodations, modified duties, and performance expectations. Learn how these tools can enhance worker recovery, improve return-to-work outcomes, and create a more supportive, resilient workplace environment. **Learning Outcomes:** 1.How brain assessment technologies can objectively measure cognitive function post-injury. 2. The role of neuroplasticity in recovery and how it informs return-to-work strategies. 3. How to use neurophysiological data to determine appropriate workplace accommodations. 4. Strategies for integrating neuroscience-based interventions into return-to-work planning. 5. Ethical and practical considerations when using cognitive assessment tool. ![NYRC Social Posts (15)-1](https://www.nyrc.ca/hubfs/NYRC%20Social%20Posts%20(15)-1.png "NYRC Social Posts (15)-1") --- ## PAST EVENTS ![ACTLA Expert Week](https://www.nyrc.ca/hubfs/ACTLA%20Expert%20Week.webp "ACTLA Expert Week") #### Experts Week ACTLA invites NYRC's Dr. Waqar Waheed to present Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) with attendees.
