Resources: Brain Injury Advocates for Children
Posted by: LaurenR at NBTS on April 6, 2011 at 11:39AM UEDT

Often children who experience brain injury struggle at school as a result of their injury. There are resources available to ease this transition back into the school system. While brain tumors are not always called traumatic brain injury (TBI), they frequently have similar sets of needs. Please explore the resources below to ensure that your loved one is benefitting from supportive services that exist for brain injury.

COPAA (Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates)
COPAA’s chief concern is that parents of children with disabilities have equal access to established legal protections by ensuring the availability and quality of legal and advocacy resources. COPAA’s mission encompasses all educational rights of students with disabilities, including students receiving early intervention services, students enrolled in pre-K- 12 programs, students in transition, and students in post-secondary education.

The purpose of the COPAA Find Attorney/Advocate Directory is to serve as a resource for members and the public to find attorneys, advocates and other professional who belong to COPAA and advocate on behalf of children with disabilities.

Wrightslaw
Parents, educators, advocates, and attorneys come to Wrightslaw for accurate, reliable information about special education law, education law, and advocacy for children with disabilities.

Begin your search in the and Law Libraries. You will find thousands of articles, cases, and resources about dozens of topics.

Finally, for more general brain injury questions and adult inquiries, please reach out to: Brain Injury Association.
