Traumatic Brain Injury is defined as an alteration in
brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology,
caused by an external force. TBI falls under the umbrella
of Acquired Brain Injury which is an injury to the brain,
which is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or
induced by birth trauma. An acquired brain injury is an
injury to the brain caused by an “internal insult” to the
brain that has occurred after birth.
Who Should Attend: Individuals and family members of young children, teen and young adults with
special needs/disabilities (including: youth guardians; adoptive, biological, foster and step-parents,
domestic partners who co-parent, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews, cousins,
neighbors, religious leaders and other person who defines as a family member), organizations and
service providers who work with families of young children, teen, young adults, and individuals with
disabilities
We encourage individuals and families to invite people who provide support and services to you and
your family. Providers are encouraged to invite individuals and families you support and serve. Forming
partnerships between people served and those providing services is crucial in building collaboration
and partnering in decision-making at all levels with individuals and families of children and youth
with special needs and/or disabilities.
Fragrance Free event; please do not wear perfume, cologne or other scented products.
