Seriously
injured
with
Damage
to Skull
& T.B.I. |
This High School
Sophomore was
injured in a
3-wheeler accident
resulting in
placement of a steel
plate in his head to
repair skull. This
serious T.B.I. left
him unable to talk
and think clearly
and with some visual
deficits.
As a special ed
student since his
accident, he was
limited in what he
could academically
accomplish due to
his cognitive
deficits.
A Cognitive Systems Teletherapy
dedicated computer
unit was installed
in his home in the
fall of 2001,
connecting him to
his certified rehab
therapist via the
Internet, 200 miles
away.
Today he
·
Is driving his car
to school,
·
Is talking
clearly,
·
Has full use of his
arms and legs,
·
Is able to remember
tasks to be
performed without
constant reminders.
His mother, who
works in the school
system, stated that
she gives credit to
her son’s
improvement mainly
to the
Cognitive Systems
Teletherapy
System.
