Acquired Brain Injury

Effects from an acquired brain injury can be both physical and/or psychological including subtle cognitive and behavioral disturbances which can impact academic performance.  A student with an acquired brain injury may experience one or more of the following:

• difficulties with memory
• difficulties retaining or retrieving information
• difficulty with communication in either the expressive or receptive modes
• impaired motor function

Accommodations for students who have an acquired brain injury are often similar to those accommodations for students with learning disabilities.
