Many adolescents need extra help in school after TBI. Some youth only need extra help for a short time, while others may need long-term help. Since school work is an adolescent’s ‘job’ it is often a place where extra assistance is needed.
In previous sessions you have learned about symptoms, such as attention difficulties, memory problems and fatigue, that can influence thinking and learning after injury.
Difficulties in these areas can also affect school performance because of forgotten homework, missed assignments, etc.
