Abstract
Designing and implementing beneficial educational interventions for traumatically brain injured (TBI) children requires a thorough understanding of the sequelae of pediatric head injury and an appreciation for the complex interaction of environmental and neuropsychological variables during the recovery process. This article provides a brief review of data pertaining to educational adjustment for TBI children, followed by a discussion of the major educationally relevant sequelae of head injury in children. Systemic problems in the delivery of appropriate educational interventions are outlined, and suggestions for mitigating the effects of these obstacles are offered. The article concludes with a description of 10 important features of appropriate educational programs for TBI children.
