Brain Injury Books on Children and Development

This booklet helps parents and educators understand how the child’s brain develops and why an acquired brain injury can have both immediate and long-term consequences. It shows how a traumatic injury can disrupt the brain’s development and why changes may show up as the child grows up. By understanding how various regions of the brain develop, families and educators will recognize the relationship between and injury and changes in the child’s physical, cognitive, social, behavioral, and communicative skills.

This booklet is included in both the teen and children's version of Tool Kit for Life Care Planners and Case Managers on Adults with Brain Injury.

Manuals for educators, therapists and parents show how to identify students with brain injuries in school, address cognitive and behavioral challenges in the classroom, and develop educational programs with supports and accommodations. They are full of practical educational and compensatory strategies for the classroom and home with examples on teaching students in school.
