MODULE DESCRIPTION:

Schools are the largest provider of services for individuals with brain injury and returning to school is one of the primary goals for children and adolescents following brain injury (Savage & Wolcott, 1995).  This module is designed to provide interested individuals with the essential information to develop an appropriate individualized educational plan (IEP) to meet the diverse needs of students with a traumatic brain injury.  The multi-disciplinary evaluation unique to the TBI population will be explored including commonly used tests, their purpose, and interpretation of findings.  The individual will be offered options for programming considerations and an IEP checklist tailored specifically to the distinct educational needs of the student with a TBI.  Teaching strategies found to be effective to support the student with a TBI in the classroom are identified.  Since changes in behavior are common after a TBI, individuals will learn how to recognize these changes and what strategies can be employed to alter inappropriate behavior.   <
