Definition of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A TBI is an acquired disruption in normal brain function due to mechanical trauma that injures the brain.
79% of children with severe injuries failed a grade or received special education services (Ewing-Cobbs et al., 1998)
14% of children with mild TBI needed support services at school 12 months post injury
(Rivara et al., 2012)
Our goal is to minimize the impact of an injury on a student’s life trajectory!
