PABI Plan - The Sarah Jane Brain Project

2. States need to “buy” into identification of PA/TBI. Children must be identified when
they enter school and each subsequent year thereafter. An integrated system of
services is necessary to address the unique needs of children with PA/TBI and their
families along the full continuum from “mild” to severe injuries and disabilities.
3. Best practices need to be established for statewide programs of identification, teacher
training and classroom interventions.
4. Evidence-based practices for classroom intervention need to be established
5. Evidence-based programs of cognitive rehabilitation for children with PA/TBI need
to be developed consistent with the child’s development age.
6. Evidence practices for family-based intervention need to be established.
7. Models of care need to be developed consistent with the child’s cognitive, behavioral,
physical, sensory and emotional challenges.
8. Model programs for points 2-7 need to be identified and replicated.
