Traumatic Brain Injury Education
Hello my name is Operator. I am not an attorney but
I work for the website and I am here to help you find information. I
hope that you are not visiting us with bad news. |
[Visitor] No looking for more info about traumatic brain injury
in regards to education
[Operator] Are you looking to pursue a career in neurology
or are you doing research?
[Visitor] neither. I have two adopted boys that need help to
get the appropriate education and someone mentioned having traumatic brain injury
as a "label" on their IEPs. I want to know the exact definition of traumatic
brain injury in regards to educational laws
[Operator] Ok hold on and let me see what information have
available for you.
[Visitor] thanks
[Operator] This might be able to provide you some additional
information http://www.head-concussion.com/learning-disorder.htm ,
but from what I understand there is no "general" law for IEP's is based by the
state. What state are you located in?
[Visitor] Ohio. TBI from what I have read seems to all be directed
at damage to the brain caused by accidents, etc. Nothing specifically saying
injury from prenatal problems. They are Fetal acohol children, certainly with
brain damage.
[Operator] Unfortuneately I have not ran across a lot of information
relating to fetal alcohol syndrome with my research for the site.
[Operator] The only thing that I have found relating to alcohol
and traumatic brain injury is that people with tbi are more predisposed to have
problems with alcohol abuse.
[Visitor] the above site may be helpful and I have bookmarked
it for future reference.
[Visitor] Thanks for your help and I will continue to do more
research.
