The National Brain Tumor Foundation and the Brain Tumor Society are teaming up to provide a web conference on rehabilitation for brain tumor patients.

This conference arose out of the questions and concerns of the patients and family members we hear from on a daily basis.

The conference will be comprised of three, one hour, presentations. Presentations will run 45 minutes and will be followed by a ten minute question/answer exchange.



All conferences will be held from 1:00-2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.

October 18, Christina Meyers, of MD Anderson, will present on Neuropsychology.



November 8, Mimi Block, M.S., CCC-SLP and Joy B. Fried, M.A., CCC-SLP, of the University of Michigan, will present on Speech Therapy.



December 6, Mark Huang, MD, and Kim Brennan, PT, of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, will present on Physical Therapy.
