An Individualized Education Program (IEP) after a brain injury provides tailored special education services to address cognitive, physical, and emotional changes impacting learning.

It requires a formal, flexible plan—reviewed frequently due to rapid recovery changes—that includes accommodations like reduced workloads, extended test time, rest breaks, and specialized instruction in memory or organization.

(Share your thoughts and advice for other parents going through the IEP process)

A follower has a question.

My TBI was nine years ago and I still have problems when the barometric pressure goes below 30. I get dizziness and migraines. Are any of you also affected by the Baro Pressure?

As this day comes to an end, I hope you give yourself a little credit for everything you made it through today. Even the things no one saw. Even the battles you fought silently in your own mind.
Some days we conquer mountains.
Other days we simply survive them.
Both count.
So tonight, let the world slow down.
Release the stress.
Forgive yourself for what didn’t go perfectly.
And remind your heart that tomorrow is another chance to grow, heal, and rise a little stronger.
Rest your mind.
Calm your spirit.
Dream bigger dreams.

Sleep well…Tomorrow we rise again.

TBI survivor is seeking advice:

I’ve been talking to a guy and he's really great. I really want to go out with him, but I've been distant lately because he doesn't know about my previous brain injury. I have been trying to find a way to tell him.
The only thing I've told him so far is that I get headaches and that's why I wear my funky looking glasses. I had a few friendships that ended after I told them about my injury and I'm scared that will happen again. We have a ton of mutuals who all have no idea about my injury, which I'm enjoying because they see the real me, not the injured me, unlike the people at school.
How did you tell your partner about your brain injury?
