Publisher's Synopsis
This ebook focuses on the long-term Implications of childhood acquired brain injury (ABI). A great deal of previous research has concentrated on short and medium term outcomes after brain injury in children, but those working in the field will know that paediatric ABI can have a long-term impact. A child's brain continues to develop past adolescence and into early adulthood. Consequently, an injury to the brain during that period of development can lead to the later emergence of difficulties and problems, even if a good recovery appears to have been made previously. For this ebook, it includes articles which consider the long-term impact of acquired brain injury.
