Books on Head Injury in Teenagers

Booklet helps adolescents identify strengths and difficulties after brain injury and describes learning strategies and accommodations needed in school.

Developing and implementing compensatory strategies for students with TBI or traumatic brain injury is complicated by multiple teachers and classroom changes in middle and high schools. This manual shows educators how to select a compensatory system, teach students how to use it, and monitor its effectiveness with adolescent students with a consistent plan for all teachers and classes.

A student with a traumatic brain injury or TBI may have limited awareness of cognitive, social and behavioral difficulties. This can be challenging for educators as the student may resist supports and accommodations. This manual explains how brain trauma can affect self awareness and shows educators how to use awareness activities to help students with brain injuries in middle and high schools.

Executive skills become increasing critical for students with TBI or traumatic brain injury as they develop from childhood into adolescents. The latent effects of brain trauma often become more visible in adolescents with increased cognitive challenges in school. This manual for educators, therapists and psychologists takes a detailed approach to assessing executive skills and designing interventions for students with ADHD, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injury.
