Media Reviews
This outstanding publication written by knowledgeable practitioners makes a significant contribution to the debate concerning acquired brain injury and educational provision...This publication deserves a place in every staff library. Given the number of injuries each year, it is more than probable you are teaching or have taught a young person with ABI. Len Parkyn, The Teacher, January 2006. This long awaited book would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any school or educational psychology department. Sue and Beth have written from their wealth of knowledge and experience of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) within the British educational system. No longer do we have to 'translate' experiences and advice from other nations' educational cultures. The Acquirer, 2006
