Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify promising practices in educational service delivery. METHODS: Consensus-building process with a multidisciplinary group of researchers, policy makers, and state Department of Education personnel. RESULTS: This white paper presents the group's consensus on the essential components of a statewide educational infrastructure to support students with traumatic brain injury across the spectrum of injury severity: (a) identification, screening, and assessment practices; (b) systematic communication between medical and educational systems; (c) tracking of child's progress over time; and (d) professional development for school personnel. The white paper also presents key outcomes for measuring success and provides recommendations both for policy change and for furthering research in childhood brain injury.
