Brain Injury

Each year, over 2 million people sustain a brain injury that results in physical, cognitive, behavioral and psychological limitations. Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults. Every 15 seconds, someone sustains a brain injury in the United States (BIANYS, 1999).
