Description:

 

Returning to work after an injury—especially one affecting cognitive function—requires a thoughtful, evidence-based approach.

 

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.
