What is a TBI?

“An alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force” (Menon et al., 2010, p. 1638; Common Data Elements for research on TBI and Psychological Health)

Slide4

Is a Concussion the same thing as a TBI?

TBIs are described as Mild, Moderate, or SevereMost clinicians consider concussions to be very mild TBIs. Some use the terms “concussion” and “mild TBI” interchangeably.

Slide5

Children 0 to 4 years, older adolescents aged 15 to 19 years, and adults 65 years+ are most at riskOver 75% are mild TBIMales are almost twice as likely to sustain a TBI as femalesFalls are the leading cause of TBIs in the United States (globally, motor vehicle accidents are #1)

National TBI Statistics

Slide26

How can a Neuropsychologist help if you’ve had a concussion or TBI?

Sometimes individuals who have experienced a concussion or TBI report problems remembering, slowed thinking, or difficulty paying attention.

A Neuropsychologist is trained to look closely at your medical history and symptoms; and administer tests to look at memory, attention, and other aspects of your thinking.

They put all this information together in a report and make recommendations about what kind of treatment you might need, and which services might be most helpful to you.

Slide27

For Concussion/TBI or Neuropsychological Screenings

Neuropsychological

screenings for current Veteran or Active Military students at UCCS or

PPCC are offered at the Veterans Health and Trauma Clinic.

This service may be offered

at no cost

to you.

At your request, your test results can be shared with other service providers (such as UCCS Disabilities Services) to provide the documentation you need for academic accommodations.

More comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation are also available at the VHTC. Cost may be covered by your insurance, copay may apply.

Sponsored by the Military and Veterans Pathways to Success (MVPS) program funded by The Anschutz Foundation.
