The brain controls everything we do, say, think and feel. It controls the very functioning that keeps us alive: breathing, digestion, hormones and the immune system. When the brain is injured, a person’s abilities and bodily functions may change. This presentation is an introductory session that will explore the common causes and the prevalence of brain injury among children, teens and adults. The presenter will explain the common changes caused by brain injury; including cognitive, behavioral and physical symptoms. She will also provide the group with information on basic medical rehabilitation, compensatory strategies and resources.
