Sessions for Parents and Educators

The Alliance’s Children & Adolescents Committee creates several education opportunities for parents and school professionals to learn more about the unique issues faced by school-aged children and adolescents who have sustained brain injuries.

Brain Injury in Students

The Alliance offers free Brain Injury in Students sessions for parents and educators. These free sessions focus on what is brain injury, brain injury in the school system, effects of brain injury, accommodations and strategies to assist students with brain injury, and programs and services of the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey.

The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey is an approved provider of Professional Development Hours through the New Jersey Department of Education (#2782). Professional Development Hour certificates will be provided at each session.

Coming Soon...

Brain Injury in Students will be offered as a webinar in coming months.  Check back in early 2012 for dates and more information!
