Results Website! Conclusions
As an educator, understanding the brain of a student with TBI, is
like understanding a road map. The student has always gotten
from point A to point B by taking a direct route. Now the brain
needs to find an additional route to get to the same place, and
that is very difficult, and frustrating. This website will assist
teachers, parents, and persons with TBI, by giving them tools and
information.
