Description:
The Spectrum of Developmental Disabilities activity will provide an interdisciplinary approach to the issues of brain injury in childhood. It will update the mechanisms of childhood brain injury, review the clinical syndromes (stroke, shaken baby, concussive injury and coma), present information on the interaction of injury and development, and current and proposed therapies for brain injury.

Objectives:
After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
- Recognize that brain injury in childhood affects cognitive and behavioral function
- Distinguish clinical syndromes of brain injury
- Describe the effects of development on brain injury in childhood
- Define the continuum of rehabilitation services for children
- Discuss the mechanisms of brain injury in childhood
