Return To School Project
About
Although hospitals treat children and adolescents with TBI in their initial course of recovery, it is ultimately the school system that serves as the long-term provider of services to these students.
The goal of this project is to compare the health, academic and social outcomes of children/youth with TBI who are served by the COR-TBI team model to outcomes of children/youth in a comparison site.
The COR-TBI team model, operational since 1994, links medical settings (i.e., concussion clinics, emergency departments, pediatrician offices) with a regional support network coordinated by the High Desert Educational Service District, and provides comprehensive support within the school setting for students who experience a brain injury of any severity across all ages.
