and may be more manageable than children who have not yet mastered self-control. First, what is traumatic brain injury exactly? Children who have Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) possess

an auto accident or a fall from a bike (2003). The result is either a disability or psychosocial impairment, or sometimes both (2003). Such an injury adversely affects educational performance
(2003). In fact, TBI affects the performance of children in respect to several educational domains, inclusive of but not limited to physical functioning, cognition, sensory-motor processing, attention and memory (2003).
