The 21st Annual Statewide Conference on Brain Injury


Roberta DePompei will provide keynote presentations each morning, as well as breakout sessions each day. Dr. DePompei's professional positions have included speech/language pathologist/ audiologist in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, home health agencies, public school and private practice. She is currently employed as school director, professor and clinical supervisor at The University of Akron.

Dr. DePompei's major area of research is traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adults and resultant cognitive-communicative disorders. She collaboratives nationally, and she has conducted research on the impact of TBI on the family system and communication. Her research also includes home, community and school reintegration for people with TBI, including school age through college levels. She has conducted numerous workshops and presented papers on these topics at international, national, state, and local conferences.

Holly Kostrzewski, of Duluth, will be closing the conference on Saturday by sharing her experiences of living with brain injury. In 1999, she sustained a life-changing brain injury during a motor vehicle crash, and has faced significant challenges during her on-going recovery. Through determination, faith and a positive attitude, Kostrzewski graduated college with honors and now serves as the Injury Prevention Program Coordinator for the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Kostrzewski also founded the HUGS (Helmet Use and Grab your Seatbelt) program. She has appeared at events and conferences nationwide and in Canada, inspiring thousands with her message of hope and inspiration.
