Acquired Brain Injury Books for School
Books on teaching students with acquired brain injury in school
School is the place where students with traumatic and acquired brain injury will face challenges for learning, thinking, developing social skills, managing behaviors and mastering physical abilities. These books on educating students with brain injuries and concussion have information and resources for educators, therapists, parents, advocates, and students on brain development and the immediate and long term effects of brain trauma. They provide strategies for learning, tools for understanding changes in behavior, techniques for mastering social skills and information on speech and language for students with brain injuries.
Traumatic brain injury information in the United States:
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A.) added traumatic brain injury as a special education category in 1991. However, many students with traumatic brain injury are still unidentified and underserved in local schools.
