Recovering from Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury with Specific Reference to the Case Study of Neo

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can have a significant impact on classroom performance and may affect cognitive, social, physical and psychological functioning which can vary from being quite severe or to being quite mild depending on the amount of damage. TBI usually results from accidents or from a blow to the head. TBI isn't used for a person born with a brain injury or injured during birth. For the most part, every brain injury is different as the part of the brain involved in the injury may vary. Many children will have lifelong disabilities as a direct result of TBI, which brings us to the case of Neo. In this essay I will look into the injury sustained by him.

Neo was a 9-year-old boy who started having problems with his schoolwork in the third grade. He sustained a head injury when he was 5 years old. His home environment was stable and caring. He had no problems prior to the injury and he passed Grades 1 and 2. I will discuss the recovering from childhood TBI referring to Neo specifically.
