I learned several new things. I was one who was always taught younger was likely to have better outcomes but have since seen some kids who" grew into" the TBI. I just e-mailed the cbirth to 3 coordinator to remind her to rescreen one we evaluated 6 months ago, whio had shaken baby... This course confirmed what I suspected. Thank you!

I am very interested in this topic because it is very personal for me. My brother had a bicycle accident as a child and had Executive Function Issues as he grew into adulthood. Eventually was diagnosed with a brain tumor in his 40s and had long term disabilities as a result of sugery complications and stroke. He passed away last March at the age of 53.
