Neurology

Hey there Sam. With consent, I'm passing on list of recommendations provided by Katherine Anderson, via our Facebook group:

1) To address executive functioning skills research the ADHD written protocols available now - as they address executive functioning often impacted with TBIs.

2) Have him set up a daily task schedule - so the student's ADLs are done routinely. Supporting rest breaks, exercise and meal times.

3) Limits on screen time.

4) Consider blue tint glasses to reduce strain on eyes. Palming ex can be good if vision was impacted - to reduce eye strain.

5) Adaptive equipment - voice to text if typing is slow or still difficult. One handed keyboard if hemiplegia impacting ability to type with both hands.

5) Menu planning - to ensure good nutrition intake and fluid intake. Exercise and nutrition are as important if not more important than the rest to continue decreased brain inflammation and healing.

6) Sleep hygiene - check in to ensure he is sleeping well and address with the above as needed. Consider a grounding sheet - check them out on Amazon.

He may not need all of these but worth a consideration.
