The Thrive Adaptive Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) curriculum continued its three-part series with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Symposium, presented in collaboration with students from Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine (COMP). The hybrid learning module advanced Thrive Adaptive’s mission to embed disability-informed care into medical education by integrating clinical knowledge, communication skills, and lived experience.
The program featured Jamie Currie, MS, behavioral specialist and disability advocate, who led instruction on patient-centered communication strategies for individuals with TBI. Clinical foundations were presented by Dr. Dan Miulli, neurosurgeon and medical director of the Brain Injury Program at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, who provided an overview of TBI pathology, treatment pathways, and long-term outcomes.
A panel discussion moderated by Hector Ochoa, disability self-advocate and community leader, centered the lived experience of individuals with TBI and highlighted community-based resources available to clinicians and patients. The experience concluded with a visit to The Perfect Step Neurological Rehabilitation Center, where students met founder Hal Hargrave and learned about emerging rehabilitation technologies and recovery strategies shaping neurological care.
