We offer testing to screen for cognitive difficulties and rehabilitative classes to address these neurocognitive dysfunctions, which can be secondary to traumatic brain injuries (e.g., concussion), strokes (e.g.,hemorrhage, ischemia), infections (e.g., meningitis), loss of oxygen (e.g.,near-drowning, long COVID), seizures, radiation treatment, pre- and post-operation of brain tumors, and various dementias.

His research efforts include systems-focused change at the local, state, and federal levels for families affected by brain injury. He is a 17-year survivor of a "severe" traumatic brain injury, hypoxemia, pneumothorax, and a 1-month coma. Dr. Ignacio's clinical interests lie at the intersection of neurologic trauma, diversity (e.g., multicultural), and disparity (e.g., situational/positional/structural inequities). He received his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Fielding University, completed his pre-doctoral internship at the NWI Veteran's Affairs Consortium, completed post-doctoral fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology at UCLA's BrainSPORT program, and is currently completing his MPH at UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health.
