Brain Injuries in Children

According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year, over 60,000 children are hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many will recover from their brain injuries, but others are not so lucky and will face a lifetime of challenges. Due to the complexity and range of symptoms a child with brain injuries may experience, doctors often have trouble correctly diagnosing the severity of a child’s brain injury. Brain injuries in children are often the result of a birth error, slip and fall, car accident, or sporting accident.

Signs and Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Children:

• Memory Loss
• Fatigue
• Speech Impairment
• Limited Attention Span
• Reduced Motor Coordination
• Depression, Mood Swings and Other Emotional Changes
• Changes in Speech and Vision
• Difficulty Writing, Speaking or Reading
• Inability to Meet Developmental Milestones
