What happens to children with severe brain injuries?

A: Children with severe brain injury have the advantage of youth on their side. Children can train their brains to replace lost functions more easily than adults can with similar injuries. Yet, brain injury for children can create many cognitive or learning problems. Additionally, psychological and behavioral problems may affect school re-entry and a return to family and peers. Many children require rehabilitation that extends into the school environment to achieve success.

after the injury has occurred. In some cases, the initial injury has been forgotten or ignored, which can be the cause of inappropriate diagnosis and treatment unless consideration is given to the long-term effects of the initial injury.
