My son suffered a football brain injury at the age of 13, and thanks to the Lord he is now 23. I believe we should never take life for granted! —Virginia F.

Grant helps TBI students, families and teachers

Marilyn Colter   
September 02 2009

With a $50,000 grant in hand, speech language pathologist Sarah Hamrick Powell, at Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital in South Carolina, hopes to improve the life of brain injured students returning to school.

Among her goals is the improvement of communication between teachers and families as well as training  for teachers about how to deal with the diverse learning problems TBI students encounter when they come back into the classroom after a brain injury. Powell will be developing educational materials for both families and teachers in order to make it easier for information to flow between schools and families.

Good luck to Powell, Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital and the schools their TBI students attend. It's steps like this that will bring our kids learning success after brain injury.
