Brain Injury and
the School-aged Child

School-aged children with brain injury need the same kinds of specialized tools and skills training their adult counterparts need. Perhaps more so. After all, the “work” of being in school is new learning, and without skills for writing Memory Notes, following instructions, reading with comprehension and managing troubling feelings, how can we expect our brain-injured children to flourish?

Age-appropriate Tools and Skills Training
We know that the adult “tool kit” is not appropriate for young people (the youngest BRAIN BOOK® student is currently 15 years of age). Tools for school-aged children need to be age-appropriate and tailored to the child’s developmental level.

Over the years, BRAIN BOOK® System has received many requests for a youth version of the BRAIN BOOK® System. One is under development (with the assistance of a teacher and BRAIN BOOK® student who has used principles of the BRAIN BOOK® System with her eight-year old daughter, and found them to be successful).

E-mail Mailing List
If you are interested in being on our e-mail mailing list to find out more about the youth version of the BRAIN BOOK® System’s program, as it develops, please e-mail us at teachers@brainbook.com. Specify whether you're a teacher, parent or what other capacity you work with children. Specify your child's needs (i.e., age group, can the child read yet, etc.) Also, indicate in your e-mail if you are interested in being part of our beta test site for this project.
