About the TBI Team

The Oregon Traumatic Brain Injury Team is a multidisciplinary group trained in pediatric brain injury, funded through Oregon Department of Education’s regional programs for low-incidence disabilities. Oregon TBI team members work within their districts, counties, region, and across the state to support educators and families of students with TBI.

  • The effects of traumatic brain injury on school performance
  • 504 & Special Education process and eligibility for students with TBI
  • Behavior management

  • Educational accommodations
  • Instructional strategies
  • Transition planning

Oregon TBI Team members provide consultation on topics such as:
