Traumatic Brain Injury by Project IDEAL http://www.projectidealonline…
Prevalence
Prevalence
The incidence of TBI peaks during three specific age periods: birth to 5 years of age, 15-24 years of age, and over 70 years of age.
About 80,000 to 90,000 of the 475,000 children who have sustained TBIs are permanently disabled from their accidents or injuries.
About 180 per 100,000 children under age 15 experience TBIs and of that number, 5% to 8% experience severe TBIs.

Characteristics

Professionals are unaware of the consequences of childhood head injury. Students with TBI are too often classified as having learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, or mental retardation.
