Underachieving Students -
This technical brief from the National Center for
the Dissemination of Disability Research discusses research
conducted at Mount Sinai, that focuses on identification,
assessment, and classroom modifications for students who have
experienced mild brain injury resulting in underachievement in
school.
TBI Consumer Reports
Issue
1: Long-term Post-TBI Health Problems
-
Individuals with TBI experience some health problems much more
often than people without a disability, for example, balance and
sleep difficulties, urinary control problems, arthritis, as well
as hair, skin, and body temperature changes. Suggestions are
provided for dealing with these common health challenges.
Issue 2: Aerobic Exercise Following TBI
- This TBI Consumer Report describes the many benefits experienced
by people with TBI who engage in aerobic exercise (like
running), including fewer sleep problems, fewer cognitive
complaints and less depression. Suggestions are made for taking
up or resuming aerobic exercise after TBI. Issue 3: Parenting after TBI
-
Our research suggests that one of the few areas in which parents
with long-term brain injury differ from non-disabled parents is
in being somewhat more depressed and having children who are
somewhat more depressed than in families that are not coping
with TBI. Suggestions are made for parents to address this and
other issues. Issue 4: Coping with Post-TBI Emotional Distress
- The results of our research suggest that depression is 10 times
more likely for people with TBI, and anxiety is twice as likely
for people with TBI as for people with no disability. This TBI
Consumer Report focuses on steps individuals with TBI can take
to alleviate depression and/or anxiety.
Issue 5: Coping with Sexual Problems after TBI
-
After TBI, commonly the individual's social and sexual behavior
and his/her sexuality are affected — somewhat differently for
men and women. This issue of TBI Consumer Report discusses
approaches you can use to help address problems that affect
establishing and maintaining a relationship with another person
after TBI that is satisfying, sexually and emotionally.
Issue 6: Coping with Substance Abuse after TBI
-This issue focuses on two aspects of substance abuse after TBI:
first, the magnitude of the problem and why "staying clean" is
important to people with TBI, and second, what can be done to
help prevent and treat substance abuse after a person has had a
TBI. This advice is based on "what worked" for people who shared
with us their experiences in avoiding and coping with substance
abuse.
Issue 7: Peer Mentoring
-
This issue of TBI Consumer Report describes how the TBI
Mentoring Partnership Program works and initial data on its
impact. The Report also discusses how similar peer mentoring
programs might be established in other areas of the country.
Issue 8: Person-Centered Planning
- This issue describes a method to plan for a better future that
places the person with TBI at the center of planning.
Person-centered planning can be done in community agencies that
serve people with disabilities, or it can be done by an
individual with a supportive group of friends and family.
