Helping Brain Injury Survivors Learn to Use Artificial Intelligence AI

As an individual living with the impact of a brain injury I have sought to improve my quality of life and well-being. With the encouragement of a friend I began using Artificial Intelligence in May 2025.

After reflecting on my learning process and working with AI, I have gained insights that could benefit individuals living with brain injuries. This information could also help both caregivers and family members.

Caregivers and family members as they work with and relate to individuals living with brain injuries. This learned information could also help professionals and support staff, as they work to improve the quality of life for brain injury survivors.

I am Not an Expert

I am still learning about the world of AI and how it can be used in ways that are supportive and empowering, rather than overwhelming or harmful. On October 10, 2025 I will be speaking at a brain injury survivor conference on the topic of “Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for a Better Life”.

My goal in sharing what I have learned over the past 5 months is to encourage survivors and caregivers to take small and safe steps in learning how to use Artificial Intelligence. In learning how to use artificial intelligence in a way that will work for them.

Work for them, based on their own learning style.


What I Learned and Setting the Stage to Get the Most from working with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

My Process and Journey.

My Portfolio and Credentials. 

My Involvement with Artificial Intelligence.

Understanding How you Learn after Your Brain Injury.

Understanding who You are and what You bring to Artificial Intelligence.

Why these Awareness’s are Important to Your being Successful with Artificial Intelligence?

How to Get the most out of Your Experience AI by understanding and asking for what You Need?

My Availability to be of Service

I have lived with the impact of a brain injury and an invisible disability for over 58 years. Over the past 5 years, I have given more than 140 presentations, without charging a fee.

At 68, I now need to be compensated for my time and expertise and for all that I have uniquely  contributed to the world wide brain injury community through Second Chance to Live.
