The SINR Seminar is a monthly virtual seminar that provides clinically relevant didactics and training in neuropsychological rehabilitation. Topics range from didactic presentations germane to neuropsychological rehabilitation to case studies. The vision of the SINR Seminar is to create more learning and community-building opportunities within the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation.

The monthly SINR Seminar takes place on the second Wednesday each month from 12 to 1pm EST. Monthly seminars are sponsored and organized by the SINR Education Committee. Seminar attendance is now eligible for CE credit (1.0 CE) through the American Psychological Association (APA)!

Starting February 2026, CE credits will be offered at the following rate for each seminar:

$15 for SINR Members (LMIC, Student and EC)
$20 for SINR Members (Professional)
$30 for Non-Members

How do I participate in the monthly seminar?

You do not need to be a member to participate in the monthly seminars, but you do need to be a member to receive CE credit and a CE certificate.

How do I get my CEs?

Paid members will receive an email with your CE credit certificate after the seminar and a link to complete the post-seminar survey. Attendees do not have to complete the survey in order to receive their certificates, but the survey helps us to continue to improve our seminars.

If I miss a seminar, can I watch a recording?

All seminars are recorded. Both recordings and slides will be available on the SINR Community website, www.si-nr.org. You will not receive CE credit for watching a recording, however. You must register and attend the seminar to receive CE credit.

Rethinking Neurorehabilitation for Patients with Cognitive Impairments

Date: Wednesday, August 12th, 2026
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm EST

About the Presentation:
Neurorehabilitation of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) is mostly about teaching or re-teaching skills, habits, and facts, and thus relies heavily on patients’ learning and memory capacity. Impairments in learning and memory, however, are ubiquitous among in- and outpatients with ABI. In this webinar, we will discuss approaches to selecting instructional methods that fit each patient’s learning and memory capacity, from early after injury when the patient has post-traumatic amnesia to in- and outpatient rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives:

Create a plan to implement a protocol for patients in post-traumatic amnesia.
Consider methods for screening cognitive function early in rehabilitation.
Describe the costs and benefits of triaging in- and outpatients to different instructional methods based on their declarative learning ability.
