Originally presented as a slide show presentation for Eastern Washington University class "Recreation Therapy for People with Disabilities". This video is a presentation on the hypothetical use of role-playing games to help a patient with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) progress through various recovery stages. This includes Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA), Computer-based RPG, Tabletop, and Live-action role-play (LARP).

I have been participating in tabletop role-playing games since 1979. I am an undergraduate (senior) student at Eastern Washington University (EWU) working on an interdisciplinary degree in Recreation Therapy, Music (therapy), and Research Psychology.

In March 2013, as the final project for the class "Recreation Therapy for People with Disabilities", we were to each choose from a list of potential disabilities and create a recreation therapy treatment program.

I chose Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with the relevant impairments, and proposed using role-playing games with various modifications as the client recuperates.

This is of course completely hypothetical right now, but I would definitely appreciate suggestions, ideas, and feedback on this topic.
