About the event
In 2019, DJ Mark One and Dr Penny Trayner pooled their expertise to deliver the first DJ’ing for rehabilitation programme, as part of a 4-day non-residential brain camp that aimed to impart key cognitive rehabilitation strategies to camp participants alongside real-world application of the skills in learning how to DJ. From there the BPM (Brain’s Powered by Music) programme was born: https://www.bpm.rehab/
In this webinar, Dr Trayner and DJ Mark One will discuss how the programme is delivered in practice, how it has been received so far and outcomes for participants which include
procuring DJ slots at festivals. Dr Trayner has also designed several other unique community-based interventions for young people who have acquired brain injury with the goal of delivering systemic ecologically valid interventions in paediatric neurorehabilitation which are meaningful and motivating for the individuals. Dr Trayner will also discuss some of these other applications as part of this webinar.
