Broken Brain – Brilliant Mind
Cognitive issues are often the first thing people think of when they think about TBI. After all, it’s your brain, right? And that’s the source of your cognition.
Project LEARNet, which is “A Resource for Teachers, Clinicians, Parents, and Students by the Brain Injury Association of New York State”, has some great tutorials on Cognitive and Academic Issues for students after TBI, as well as Self-Regulation/Executive Function Issues. Don’t let the focus on kids / students deter you – these are great resources for anyone who is seeking to better understand TBI.Check out the tutorials on Cognitive and Academic Issues here and Self-Regulation/Executive Function Issues here. They are downloadable PDFs that you can print and take with you – great stuff!
Cognitive Issues after Brain Injury can include:
- Altered consciousness
- Aura or weird reverie, trance
- Trouble concentrating
- Trouble making decisions easily
- Trouble reading
- Analytical skills suffer
- Trouble telling what’s real or not
- Being easily distracted
- Being forgetful, can’t remember
