traumatic brain injury

Explanation:

A student with any form of injury to the brain can be accepted for the special education services under the disability category traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) stipulates the things that can be met under this category.

IDEA talks about TBI to be an injury, acquired, which affects the brain as a result of the physical force, which comes externally, causing total or partial impairment in areas such as cognition, language, problem-solving, psycho-social behavior; physical functions; information processing; and speech.
