I gave my presentation about stroke and aphasia early this week, and as always, I find a student or family member struggling with brain damage. But, this is the first time, read one of my student's comments about how hard to study in high school and now the university.  

 

This student took a lot of gut to write that comment to me. 

So, I will continue talking about stroke and invisible disadvantages, not only students but teachers.   

 

"Children with brain injuries face significant challenges when transitioning from hospital or home to school where they face issues such as lack of educator understanding and catching up with missed work. In the current issue of NeuroRehabilitation, leading researchers in the field of pediatric brain injury from across the globe identify today's key issues in supporting children and youth with brain injuries as they transition to school or college."

 

.... even teachers face significant challenges.

Hi Marcus,

 

We're partnering with Little Stroke Warriors to develop stroke resources for kids and their families.

 

Here is their Facebook group for families with kids who have suffered stroke in-utero, in infancy and in childhood.
