Acquired Brain Injury course for Medical Doctors
This session will outline the causes and effects of acquired brain injury (ABI) in childhood. It will explore the relevance of stages of brain development, anatomy and function when assessing children post-ABI. This will be considered in the context of a child and family’s adjustment to life following the injury. It will also cover the roles and expectations of professionals in managing children with ABI.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe what is meant by acquired brain injury
- Distinguish head trauma from traumatic brain injury
- Identify factors that contribute to the presentation of children post-ABI
