bindwaves: Recent Episodes
Brain Injury Network of Dallas (BIND)
We’ll highlight brain injury recovery stories, promote the BIND clubhouse members’ work and sprinkle hope on everything we share to new survivors, caregivers and the public.
In this powerful episode, Dr. David Salisbury, Director of Clinical Operations at Pate Rehabilitation, pulls back the curtain on the realities of brain injury recovery, the gaps in post-hospital care, and why so many survivors struggle to get the rehabilitation services they need.
Whether you're newly injured, years into recovery, or supporting a loved one, this episode is a powerful reminder that recovery doesn't end when therapy stops, and that your voice matters in shaping the future of brain injury care.

Meet Angela Standridge, Director of the Texas Technology Access Program (TTAP) at the University of Texas. The program helps people with disabilities get access to assistive technology so they can live more independently.
What is Assistive Technology (AT)? is any device, equipment, software program, or product that helps a person with a disability improve or maintain their ability to function.
TTAP makes these tools easy to find and use. They not only have a library of available devices but also provide product demonstrations, 35-day loaner devices, recycled equipment, and information about national loan programs. Angela explains that the tool itself is not the full solution—the real solution is how the person uses it in their own environment to meet their specific needs.
Listen in and find out how this amazing program allows those of us with disabilities to live a more independent life.

Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that’s out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do.

Until only recently, treating Glioblastoma brain cancer with chemotherapy has not been achievable due to the blood brain barrier. In today’s Bindwaves episode, Dr. Michael Canney walks us through how Carthera developed a revolutionary method to deliver therapeutics to the brain utilizing an ultrasound system. It is well known that the survival rate for Glioblastoma is 1 to 2 years. Surgery tends to be the primary means to combat this horrible disease. To improve these odds, an ultrasound implant is placed in the brain after the surgeon removes the tumor. This implant, or mesh, contains an ultrasound transducer, which when activated during chemo treatments, disrupts the blood brain barrier thus allowing therapeutics to attach to the cancer cells. Join us as Dr. Canney eloquently discusses the history of this treatment, Phase 1 and Phase 2 results, and their hopes for the Phase 3 trial.

Meet James Brown. In his first year of law school he began experiencing noticeable neurological symptoms. An MRI scan revealed a massive brain tumor. Though doctors anticipated a smooth recovery after surgery, James faced serious complications that left him in a coma for two months and dealing with lasting disabilities. But instead of giving up, he chose to fight back. He returned to Colorado, became a father, and boldly started a new career in web programming. Along the way he earned a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Illinois.
Now living in Texas, James dedicates his time to leading multiple support groups, helping others navigate life after brain injury. He shares practical tips for managing day-to-day life, the value of having a structured routine, and the vital role support groups play in recovery. He also reflects on the emotional and philosophical aspects of living with a brain injury, offering wisdom, hope, and encouragement to anyone facing their own "new normal."

Imagine regaining movement after years of immobility. Julie Graham, OT and therapy development specialist at MicroTransponder, discusses her extensive 20-year career in occupational therapy and her work with Vivistim, a device designed for chronic ischemic stroke survivors. Vivistim pairs vagus nerve stimulation with physical and occupational therapy to enhance neuroplasticity and regain motor functions in the affected upper extremity. Julie explains the role of the vagus nerve in rewiring the brain's connections and how Vivistim is different from e-stim (external electrical stimulation). While the FDA has only approved Vivistim for chronic ischemic survivors, there are multiple studies for all types of brain injury, so Julie hopes access will be expanded soon. She also shares real-life success stories of stroke survivors who have regained significant abilities.

Future goals are Clubhouse growth, getting their name out in the community, and expanding the number of the counties they serve. Overall, the common theme is to connect with others so that no one feels alone after their brain injury.

Don’t let transportation stop you! you ever feel isolated? Post brain injury, many struggle with loneliness, often due to life changes, especially a lack of transportation. So what do we do? We get together online, and make new friends.
Our guest is Veronica Corrin, OT, with Rehab Without Walls, an at home and in community neuro-based rehab. She started the Brain Injury Virtual Connect (BIVC), a weekly Wednesday group meeting, four years ago, which has now grown to include a Friday Coffee Chat and a Saturday survivor led Peer Party Chat.
The weekly BIVC meetings cover a wide range of topics, from a group round table, where members get to ask a question to the group and everyone gets to respond, to playing games, like Family Feud, to focused discussions, like how to survive the holidays with a brain injury. It’s like a variety show: a little something for everyone. They also offer two in-person events per year, one in Houston and one in DFW, but are looking at adding more cities soon.
We all need a place to connect, where people are looking forward to seeing you, who miss you when you're gone. Virtual connecting also makes in person connecting easier. Take the first step.
To join a meeting, email Veronica.Corrin@RehabWithoutWalls.com. Everyone is welcome. Learn more about Rehab Without Walls and the Home & Community Neuro Rehab Advantage (and find a location near you!): https://www.rehabwithoutwalls.com/care-settings/home-community/

Consider your emotional baggage when you still want to learn! Today we are speaking with Laurel who had a brain injury at age 17. She lost her hearing in one ear, but that did not stop her. Laurel became an attorney, a licensed professional counselor (LPC), and is now a board member at BIN. She never gave up her quest to learn and graduated with her law degree and still teaches continuing LPC classes quarterly. Running four times a week keeps her recovery going strong. Although she still has challenges, including time management, swallowing, eating, and partial hearing loss, she has found great compensation strategies. Laurel manages her time by returning emails and phone calls to specified times. No matter your age when you have a brain injury, you can still achieve great things.

Have you heard about neurofeedback?
Today we welcome Dr. Robert Baric, the founder of MyConcussionDr where he specializes in whole body management of brain injury. Nine years ago, after his mother had a stroke, he got board certified in neurofeedback, and now has one of the best clinics in North Carolina.
QEEG and/or eye examination are the usual ways to diagnose concussion. He discusses the best ways to initially treat a TBI, when to go to the ER, what you can do at home, and strategies for lifelong brain health.
Dr. Baric emphasizes the importance of persistent recovery. If you hit a wall with one practitioner, find another that can help. With hard work and the right fuel, recovery is possible.

Today we welcome Erin Kreszel, who has dedicated herself to raising awareness, providing support, and policymaking after losing her cousin to a ruptured brain aneurysm. Eleven years ago, she and her sister founded The Bee Foundation for Brain Aneurysm Prevention.
Erin shares some surprising statistics with us, e.g. ~1 in 50 people has one, and even someone perfectly healthy and young can have one rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke.
Prevention is key. It is considerably easier to treat prior to rupture. She encourages us to advocate for ourselves. Ask for the MRA if you are concerned or have a family history of aneurysms.
She explains the different treatment options for unruptured brain aneurysms, such as clipping and coiling, and the importance of early detection.

Have you ever felt stuck when you were trying to work through something? Saul Enriquez, a teacher to our future nurses at Rio Grande Valley Nursing School, has over 26 years of experience in caring for people with a multitude of health issues. During his work providing critical care at ICUs, trauma units, and emergency departments, he's seen patients recover from extensive injuries. All of them had one thing in common: persistence. He now teaches future nurses to have patience with their patients. Even when facing tremendous obstacles, survivors found ways to make improvement, even if it seemed insignificant at the time. Future nurses will learn with those baby steps, patients will eventually find themselves further along their path of recovery. So if you feel stuck, remember that any action is better than inaction. Keep going!

You may not know that many of the services are free to other areas outside of Plano: they offer programs with technology, work searches, language learning, bookmobile, virtual platforms, among others. Kristen and Bob also introduced us to the “Book a Librarian” program which offers 30 minutes for specific questions. Find out how the Plano Library can do more than just lend books!

Think about a brain injury as a family event. Both the survivor and their family need resources and support to find their new normal. Our guest, Karol Falci, a neuro case manager for Baylor Scott and White in Frisco, is a brain injury survivor herself. Her background began in acute short-term care but is currently part of the day neuro team. She explains the difference between a case manager and a social worker.

She urges patients to be persistent in recovery and their families to relentlessly help them find means of doing so. Karol also shares a few inspirational success stories and encourages brain injury survivors to keep going to find our new normal.

The limitations each survivor faces vary due to the affected area.

There are reasons why the Department of Public Safety (DPS) may deny your request to resume driving. Listen to Christine Nelson who is a licensed rehab specialist and a manager at PATE. Several reasons why a person may not pass a driving test are memory lapses, anger issues, spatial issues between cars, and the failure to execute certain strategies. Patients are encouraged to make use of any modifications such as turn signals, change of pedals, adjust mirrors for up and down movements. PATE has a driving rehabilitation program to encourage brain injury survivors to confirm if they can get back on the road.

Listen to Chris B, who advises listeners to go slow when restarting driving after a brain injury. Chris is a member of BIND and volunteers at Heritage Farms in Plano.

It took 18 months for him to resume driving and to learn how to use his other foot for braking and accelerating. His primary doctors urged him to keep his driving license and continue to keep his awareness while working to regain his independence.
