How does the IDEA define TBI? 

500
  • Recovery of previously learned skills may be improved with earlier brain injury
  • Ability to attain news skills (i.e. new learning) is negatively affected by earlier brain injury

500
  • Medical statement from licensed providers’s
  • Parent/caregiver interviews
