Traumatic Brain Injury

Often referred to as TBISlide3

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States. Each year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. In 2010 2.5 million TBIs occurred either as an isolated injury or along with other injuries.

1

A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury.

CDC’s research and programs work to prevent TBI and help people better recognize, respond, and recover if a TBI occurs.

Traumatic brain injury means an acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychosocial impairment, or both, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Traumatic brain injury applies to open or closed head injuries resulting in impairments in one or more areas, such as cognition; language; memory; attention; reasoning; abstract thinking; judgment; problem-solving; sensory, perceptual, and motor abilities; psychosocial behavior; physical functions; information processing; and speech. Traumatic brain injury does not apply to brain injuries that are congenital or degenerative, or to brain injuries induced by birth trauma.

Traumatic Brain Injury a disability You can get while at school

Unlike many of the disabilities that we are learning about in our class TBI can happen at school. Athletes are among the highest risk. Contact sports such as football and hockey can receive much focus. Do not over look the risk of other sports such as Gymnastics or Swim Team Diving, these students athletes are also at risk for head injury.Slide6

Returning To School

After TBI students will have a time of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can last for weeks or months. The challenges may last a life time. Each student with TBI will have different limitations and needs. Assessments will be needed to provide the appropriate accommodations.Slide7

Students who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) return to the school setting with a range of cognitive, psychosocial, and physical deficits that can significantly affect their academic functioning. Successful educational reintegration for students with TBI requires careful assessment of each child’s unique needs and abilities and the selection of classroom interventions designed to meet those needs. In this article, the author presents information about the range of services that are available in the school setting and discusses typical environmental and classroom accommodations that have proven effective. The author discusses a variety of specific research-based learning strategies, behavioral interventions, and instructional interventions available to educators who work with TBI students.

Students often have frustrations from their limitations from TBI. Students can remember their past strengths and skills making their new challenges Emotionally frustrating

Intellectual Disability (Mental Retardation)Slide12

Intellectual disability means significantly

subaverage

general intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, that adversely affects a child's educational

performance

Intellectual Disability

According to the CDC:

In 1993, an estimated 1.5 million persons aged 6-64 years in the United States had MR, and the overall rate of MR was 7.6 cases per 1000 population.

Multiple DisabilitiesSlide16

Definition:

A student is eligible to receive services under multiple disabilities categories if he or she is

Severely impaired in a way that inhabits learning outcome.

Multiple Learning Disabilities can be physical and non physicalSlide17

Multiple disabilities means concomitant impairments (such as mental retardation-blindness or mental retardation-orthopedic impairment), the combination of which causes such severe educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. Multiple disabilities does not include deaf-blindness.
