Spear, Andi
Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v24 n1 p63-78 Fall 2005
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) changes cognition and behavior in students. Their learning needs are different from students with other exceptionalities. General and special education teachers can use specific strategies based on learning style, along with certain resources, with students who have experienced a TBI to promote learning in reading, writing and math, The typical Behavior Improvement Plan of Antecedent, Behavior, Consequences does not work with a child after a TBI. Instead, a Behavior Improvement Plan should be developed based on the student's learning style after the injury, incorporating his or her physical and cognitive capabilities. (Contains 1 figure.)
