Recovery from brain injury is a long process for families and schools. An injury to a child’s brain is a physical and emotional trauma.

Students have new cognitive challenges in school as the brain recovers and learning becomes more complex in school. Family training and education of teachers on TBI are essential to help children cope and learn at home and in school.
