A new collaborative for children with brain injury has formed at the University of Oregon’s Center on Brain Injury Research and Training
Purpose:
Although there are significant gaps across all service domains for children/youth with brain injury, NCCBI will focus first on community, family, and rehabilitation issues in relation to school services. At this time, the goals of the NCCBI are to:
1. Identify critical gaps in educational services,
2. Make policy and research recommendations, and
3. Share information, tools, and resources on supports for children with TBI in the school setting.
Members of the NCCBI include:
- State Department of Education staff who provide statewide leadership and coordination of services for students with brain injury
- HRSA TBI grant recipients who work closely with their state Departments of Education
- Pediatric brain injury researchers
Representatives from both the HRSA TBI Program and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research - Family members of individuals with brain injury
