In the last few years, combat operations in the Middle East and professional sports have heightened awareness of mild Traumatic Brain Injury, or concussion. This heightened awareness has led to expanded clinical programming addressing concussion, but significant challenges remain in the identification and treatment of chronic concussion deficits. This course provides theoretical and practical guidance in how to identify and treat common functional deficits from concussion, driven by the administration of a thorough functional interview. Through discussion and interactive components, major areas of functional deficits from concussion are identified and treatments for these concerns are demonstrated.

1. Necessity and Structure of a Functional Interview
In the first chapter of this course, Dr. Dodson discusses functional performance and the importance of including a functional interview when evaluating concussion. Participants will review four major constructs that underlie functional breakdowns and that should be included in a functional interview post-concussion.
2. Interview and Treatment: Memory Deficits
Dr. Dodson demonstrates how to conduct a functional interview of immediate, short-term, long-term, and prospective memory deficits post-concussion, as well as how to implement a treatment plan.
3. Distractibility, Organization, and Follow-Through
In the third chapter of this course, Dr. Dodson demonstrates how to conduct a functional interview of distractibility, follow-through, and organization deficits post-concussion, as well as how to implement a treatment plan.
