World Congress on Brain Injury
My friend and fellow brain injury advocate, Michael Kaplen, will be making a presentation at this year's World Congress on Brain Injury in Washington D.C. next month. This is not only an honor for Michael but something I have come to expect from him given his knowledge and dedication to assisting brain injury survivors.
Michael works in New York City and lives west of the City. I grew up and attended undergraduate school east of New York City on Long Island.
Good luck Mike!

The topic of my presentation is “Challenges in the field of neurolaw in the 21st century”. I will be covering issues pertaining to judicial scrutiny of expert testimony, admissibility of controversial testing in the field of neuropsychology including the fake bad scale and malingering tests; use of new imaging techniques such as PET scans, functional MRI studies and diffusion tensor MRI studies; and the use of third party observers in insurance company and defense medical examinations.
The IBIA World Congress is the largest gathering of international professionals working in the field of brain injury. Delegates are comprised of physicians, psychologists and neuropsychologists, therapists, social workers, nurses, case managers, legal professionals, advocates and all others working in the field of brain injury.
