I attended the Pacific Coast Brain Injury Conference. It was excellent. These are the brief notes I took for one of the presentations. I was thoroughly impressed by Val and her presentation, her slides, the material and how it connected with my work. The conference was a great success. These are just 'notes' I took on my iphone but I know what they mean and the references and those working in this field would too.
