Traumatic Brain Injury. A traumatically acquired insult to the brain that may cause physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational changes. A closed head injury may be caused by a rapid acceleration/ deceleration, as in a motor vehicle accident. An open head injury is visible insult and may be the result of an accident, gun shot wound, or other physical injuries. Immediate effects are loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or change in vision, strength, coordination, or sensory function. Anatomical abnormalities may be present, such as cerebral hemorrhage or skull fracture. Long term effects may include physical, cognitive, and psycho-social-behavioral- emotional impairments.

Traumatic Brain Injury. Students with traumatic brain injury have acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychosocial impairment, or both, that adversely affects educational performance. The term applies to open or closed head injuries resulting in impairments in one or more areas, such as cognition; language; memory; attention; reasoning; abstract thinking; judgment; problem-solving; sensory, perceptual, and motor abilities; psychosocial behavior; physical functions; information processing; and speech. The term does not apply to injuries that are congenital or degenerative, or to brain injuries induced by birth trauma.41 38 34 CFR § 300.310(b) 39 34 CFR § 300.310(c)(11) 40 19 TEX. ADMIN. CODE § 89.1040(c)(10) 41 34 CFR § 300.8(c)(12) The group of qualified professionals that collects or reviews evaluation data in connection with the determination of a student's eligibility based on a traumatic brain injury must include a licensed physician, in addition to— • a licensed specialist in school psychology (LSSP)42 • an educational diagnostician, or • other appropriately certified or licensed practitioner with experience and training in the area of the disability.43 “Medical services” under IDEA are defined as services provided by a licensed physician to determine whether a child has a medically related disabling condition, which results in the child's need for special education and related services.44 The District will ensure that such services are at no cost to the parent.45 The group of qualified professionals conducting an evaluation of a student suspected of having a traumatic brain injury will conduct assessments and observations, and collect data, as necessary for the ARD Committee to make an eligibility determination.

Travel Training – Assisting individuals with disabilities to know what systems of transport are available, how to access these, how to plan their travel, and how to execute their travel plans safely. For many individuals, learning how to travel on public transportation requires systematic training. Travel training, then, is often a crucial element in empowering people with disabilities to use the accessible transportation systems.

Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is defined as traumatically induced structural injury and/or physiological disruption of brain function as a result if an external force that is indicated by any period of loss of or decreased Level Of Consciousness (LOC), loss of memory for events immediately before or after the injury (Post-Traumatic Amnesia [PTA]), alteration in mental state at the time of the injury (confusion, disorientation, slowed thinking, etc.) (Alteration Of Consciousness/mental state [AOC]), neurological deficits (weakness, loss of balance, change in vision, praxis, paresis/plegia, sensory loss, aphasia, etc.) that may or may not be transient or intracranial lesion. This MOA includes individuals sustaining a TBI and damage to the central nervous system resulting from anoxic/hypoxic episodes, related to trauma or exposure to chemical or environmental toxins that result in brain damage. This MOA does not include brain injuries/insult related to acute/chronic illnesses (i.e., cerebrovascular accident, aneurysm, hypertension, tumors, diabetes, etc.). Patients with other acquired brain injuries due to acute/chronic disease or infectious processes are not covered under this MOA but are eligible for care in these centers under TRICARE network agreements.

Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is characterised as disruption to brain function due to traumatic force to the head (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2020). It has been identified as a public health concern as a recent review estimated that 69 million people worldwide were likely to suffer from a TBI annually and the incident rates of TBI were higher in North America and Europe (Dewan et al, 2019). Meanwhile in the UK, TBI was identified as the leading cause of hospital visits impacting 1.4 million (2%) of the general population in the UK (Xxxxxxxx et al, 2016) which was likely attributed to various causes such as vehicular accidents (Xxxxx et al, 2019). Research has also identified serving military personnel and veterans as a sub-group of the population who are at an increased risk of a TBI (irrespective of the severity) (Xxxxxxx & Menon, 2011). Although due to recent conflicts in Iraq (2003-2011) and Afghanistan (2003-2014), mild TBI (mTBI) was frequently reported and established as a ‘signature injury’ impacting up to 4% of members of the UK Armed Forces (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2011; Rona et al, 2012; Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2010). Despite this, the remaining of this thesis presented findings from studies that focused on overall TBI and mTBI under the banner of TBI in the military population. The common sequence of symptoms after a TBI include loss of consciousness (LOC), altered state of consciousness (ASC), neurological and psychiatric impairment and decline in various cognitive domains (including executive function, attention, memory, and processing speed) (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2020; Xxxxxx et al, 2013). The relationship between TBI and cognitive decline remains complex as in some cases, an individual may have brain damage with no symptoms due to resilience, quick recovery, and protective factors (such as education, employment and maintaining a healthy lifestyle), so the effect on cognitive function is not immediately apparent (Xxxxxx et al, 2018). In the second instance, there is likely to be an immediate effect increasing and accelerating the risk of long-term cognitive disorders occurring such as MCI, dementia, or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2020; Xxxxxxx et al, 2014; Xx et al, 2016; Xxxxxxxx et al, 2019). Supporting evidence from a study based on the general population found adults with a history of TBI were at an increased risk of developing MCI compared to those without TBI (OR=1.25, 95% CI 1.05- 1.49) (XxXxx et al, 2016). On the contrary, there are limited studies that have e...
Traumatic Brain Injury. Overview Fifty-two states use the term traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a comparable term within special education regulations or other official documents. Fifty-one states provide definitions for TBI and 30 states provide eligibility criteria for TBI. (See Table 12 for a summary of state terminology, definitions and eligibility criteria for TBI.) One other state does not use the term TBI, but includes TBI under the category of orthopedic impairment (OI) and information on this state’s definitions and eligibility criteria can be found under the section on OI.
