Traumatic Brain Injury:  A blow or jolt to the head can result in a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can disrupt the function of the brain. Concussions, also called “closed head injuries,” are a type of TBI.  March 2008 is Brain Injury Awareness Month.  

More so now than ever - with traumatic brain injury being the signature injury of the Iraq war, an increased focus on concussions in sports, knowledge about TBI is important.  Northeast Center for Special Care presents these resources to help you better understand traumatic brain injury, the risks, signs, rehabilitation and prevention
