Two Amazing Resources - A free online book on TBI and a complete checklist of PCS Symptoms

"Nearly all of the survivors of a traumatic head injury and their families with whom I have worked have had one complaint: There is nothing written that explains head injury in clear, easy to understand language. Most say the available material is too medical or too difficult to read. The goal of this online book is to better prepare the head injured person and family for the long road ahead."

This is the introduction to Dr. Glen Johnson, Clinical Neuropsychologist's online book, Traumatic Brain Injury Survival Guide Traumatic Brain Injury Survival Guide I found this to be the most informative resource that I have come across.  

Combined with the checklist of symptoms from the Brain Injury Resource Centre I was able to validate all of Jake's issues over the last two and a half years.  

These are great tools to use if you think you or your child are suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome / Traumatic Brain Injury.  A concussion IS a brain injury!
