Abstract

Clinical Sciences

Risks and barriers exist when connecting with others using online technology. For people with acquired brain injury (ABI) research has shown that using a blog to connect with others is not as effective as joining an existing online social network such as Facebook. In this presentation we will discuss the approach to designing a program for people with ABI to learn how to use Facebook safely and highlight the approaches taken to foresee and overcome risks and barriers.
