    - - Some common traits shared by these may be the following
        (Special Education Guide 2013 - 2019)
        
        Memory difficulties, both short-term and long-term. This can be addressed be having teaching-learning strategies such as mnemonics to help remember chunks of information, blocking items and relating it to current knowledge, and having lots of anchor and tracker charts around for the student to use when necessary.
        
        Problems concentrating. This can be addressed by being incredibly patient. Set goals and use a day planner to assist the student in focussing on daily and lesson tasks at all times, having something for them to tangibly refer to.
        
        Trouble maneuvering, maybe even paralysis. Set the classroom up to accommodate such students. Have an open space and seat the student closer to the doorway without separating them.
        
        Struggles with relating to peers. The child may have undergone an shocking change and now find that their peers are more distant after the injury. For others, it may mean that they find it difficult to make friends. The best way is to create a dialogue and show that the person behind the injury is still the same person with hopes and dreams and a sense of humor.
        
        Have a school liaison there to assist with students who need it. This can help everyone make arrangements. This could include administrative arrangements and assistance, or even help to set up or transition within the classroom. For instance, they can offer guidance on where to place to child, how to instruct, present information, or get the child to engage in tasks or behaviors. (BrainLine 2011)
