Found This BEST Video
While rummaging through our archives I found this video from a few years ago. It’s a terrific thumbnail of what BEST is about. Enjoy!
Coloring Isn’t Just For Kids
Remember when your mom or grandmother use to color with you? Maybe you’ve even shared those moments with your own children or if you’re as old as I am, your grandchildren. And every time I hoped the moment could last forever. I still love to crack open a brand new coloring book, dump a box of crayons on the table, and enjoy that feeling that life couldn’t get any better.

I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a most challenging year. The politics of the day coupled with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way we navigate our lives. For BEST it was a year of dramatic change. We kicked off the year with our 1st annual virtual CogniCon (cognitive convention). The idea was to test the waters and see if there was enough demand for us to host a completely online conference because there are those within the brain injury community that cannot attend the many in-person gatherings, symposiums, and conferences offered to us.
