Ask for written information on your state's law for special education and how to apply. You may also find it helpful to contact local advocacy groups or your state's head injury association. Many children will have their special educational needs met within their local public schools. In some cases, if a school is unable to meet particular needs, parents and schools may consider a private school with special expertise in brain injury. These services may help children overcome difficulties and return to school with more success.
School is such an important part of a child's world.
It is where children gather knowledge, meet friends, and develop skills to prepare them for adulthood. A special education program can help a student adjust to the changes caused by a brain injury. Most importantly, it can identify and develop skills and abilities that will help your child learn. This is critical to building your child's confidence development and success at school and in life.
