Tutors for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
Individual tutoring, particularly with a tutor knowledgeable about ABI's effects on learning and cognition, can greatly benefit children with this condition.
What is Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and How Does It Affect Learning?
ABI stands for Acquired Brain Injury. It refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. This type of injury can result from various causes, including traumatic events like a blow to the head, falls, car accidents, or non-traumatic events like strokes, brain tumours, infections, or lack of oxygen. ABI can lead to a wide range of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural impairments, depending on the severity and location of the injury. An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) can affect a child’s learning by changing how they think, process information, manage emotions, and use physical skills, often leading to challenges with concentration, memory, communication, fatigue, and overall cognitive processing
