abstract="This study was conducted to examine the impact of childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) on intellectual and academic outcomes postinjury. A comprehensive assessment of cognition, achievement, learning, and memory was administered to 27 children and adolescents 6 to 8 years post-TBI. <br><br>FINDINGS revealed that parent ratings of premorbid achievement were a significant predictor of achievement postinjury, reiterating the importance of obtaining information from parents regarding their child's functioning. Furthermore, severity of injury had a significant impact on nonverbal IQ performance. Children and adolescents with more severe head injuries used less effective learning strategies to encode and recall information. <br><br>FINDINGS are addressed in terms of implications for educators and educational programming for working with school-age children following a TBI.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
