Brain Injury Support Network / BrainSTEPS Colorado

Brain Injury Teams: 

• Consult with schools regarding IDEA identification, IEP/504 Plan development, possible interventions, and implementation based on the Building Blocks of Brain Development © framework. Teams also consult on school re-entry planning and other issues school professionals face in supporting students with brain injuries.
• Provide consultation and/or education to parents of any student with brain injury referred to the team and ongoing communication regarding services the team is providing for the student.
• Monitor students annually until graduation for the manifestation of new cognitive/behavioral/social issues related to brain injury.
• Disseminate brain injury resource information (e.g., written information, links to websites, referrals to community resources, etc.) to educators, families, and community providers working with students with brain injury.
• Provide training on the educational implications of brain injury to educators as well as the local community (e.g., parent, medical, rehabilitation).
