Neuropsychological Rehabilitation of Childhood Brain Injury

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children has received increasing attention in recent years among parents, educators, clinicians and service providers, researchers and policymakers owing to the incidence and financial burden associated with injury during infancy, childhood or adolescence. Understanding the ways in which the immature brain may exhibit specific vulnerabilities to injury, how injury at a young age may interact with subsequent development, and anticipating the likely cognitive and functional consequences of child TBI is critical in detection of injury, monitoring recovery, and designing and evaluating rehabilitation strategies that may enhance recovery.
