Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS) Training

We have worked with thousands of people with brain injuries. Let our experience, combined with the curriculum of the Brain Injury Association, teach your team how to understand brain injury in the most informative CBIS training around!

History

A survey was completed in 1990 regarding the needs of licensed and non-licensed staff in brain injury services. Seventy-five percent of respondents noted that specialized training was needed for licensed staff and eighty-four percent indicated that training was needed for non-licensed staff. Ninety percent of survey respondents agreed that the training curriculum include the following: cognitive, psychological and social consequences of brain injury, behavioral approach for managing challenging behaviors and promoting positive skills, and techniques for effectively working with families.

 

Requirements

Applicants must have 500 hours of currently verifiable direct contact experience (employment and/or academic internship) working with survivors of brain injury (BI). Certification is renewed annually, requiring ten hours of continuing education each year.

 

Certification

The Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (ACBIS) allows professionals and staff to demonstrate their knowledge during a written examination and by earning a nationally recognized credential.

Please call 866-429-6757 for discounted pricing for enrolling a group of five or more trainees.

Please note that unless you’re in the Kansas City metropolitan area, this offer is for the online training and textbook only.  Individuals will need to enroll for their test through Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (https://www.biausa.org/professionals/acbis/certified-brain-injury-specialist/cbis-application-process).  They will also be responsible for obtaining a proctor for their online examination.  Generally this can be handled by a local Brain Injury Association (https://www.biausa.org/find-bia) or a third-party provider.
