March is Brain Injury Awareness Month
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability for children in the United States. More than one million children receive a brain injury each year. Many of those children will have difficulty in school because of their brain injuries. In Ohio, an average of 1817 children, ages 5-19, sustain a TBI each year. (Biennial Report on the Incidence of Brain Injury in Ohio - 1/05-1/07, Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission.) Knowledge of appropriate intervention strategies is essential to ensure that these children make progress in the school environment.
