Results Website! ConclusionsAs an educator, understanding the brain of a student with TBI, is like understanding a road map. The student has always gotten from point A to point B by taking a direct route. Now the brain needs to find an additional route to get to the same place, and that is very difficult, and frustrating. This website will assist teachers, parents, and persons with TBI, by giving them tools and information.

Elsa Arroyos-Jurado, Jane Paulsen, Stewart Ehly and Jeffery Max stated it best as an educator “Not only do educators need to draw on student’s strengths, they also need to come up with novel approaches to teaching learning strategies.” (2001,p.137). This project is based on this statement. Each of the strategies that are used and will be used are novel approaches for each individual person. This project’s goal is to assist the student, parent and teacher to be successful in educating themselves and others and to assist all persons who suffer from TBI.

For educators, parents, and students with TBI, TBI can be translated into just one word—Devastating. Pieper in 2001 best described it by stating “those experiencing traumatic brain injury (TBI) is that they often express frustration and pain at ‘“losing”” the child they knew.” (p 5). The purpose of this project is to try to alleviate this frustration. Some of the ways to alleviate frustration are to acquire information, knowledge, and strategies, to deal with issues. This project does just that, with the design of an interactive website, with practical research-based learning strategies, that demonstrate and model effective tools for working with students with TBI.
