To determine whether parents believe schools provided necessary support to their children who sustained traumatic brain injuries.
Interview, to determine parent perceptions.
Sixty-six primary caregivers of school-age children who experienced a TBI within the previous 2 years were interviewed regarding what types of special support were needed by and provided for their children during the 3 months immediately following school re-entry. They then rated how difficult it was to obtain support or services from the school and how satisfied they were with the support or services.
The majority of participants did not perceive the need for school-based services, even when the injury was severe. Almost all students whose parents perceived a need for an adjusted schedule were granted that accommodation, but few students received school-based counselling or behavioural support.
Results indicated that participants perceived relatively few school-based supports, particularly given the actual academic, behavioural and social challenges experienced by children who have sustained a TBI. Schools and hospitals must take steps to ensure appropriate post-head injury support services.
确定家长是否认为学校为遭受创伤性脑损伤的孩子提供了必要的支持。
访谈，以确定家长的看法。
对66名在过去两年内孩子经历过创伤性脑损伤的学龄儿童的主要照顾者进行了访谈，询问在孩子重返学校后的3个月内他们需要何种特殊支持以及学校提供了何种支持。然后，他们对从学校获得支持或服务的难度以及对这些支持或服务的满意度进行了评分。
大多数参与者认为不需要学校提供的服务，即使损伤很严重。几乎所有家长认为需要调整课程安排的学生都获得了这种安排，但很少有学生接受学校提供的咨询或行为支持。
结果表明，参与者认为学校提供的支持相对较少，尤其是考虑到遭受创伤性脑损伤的儿童实际面临的学业、行为和社交挑战。学校和医院必须采取措施确保提供适当的头部受伤后支持服务。
