By Dr. Glen Johnson, Clinical Neuropsychologist Clinical Director of the Neuro-Recovery Head Injury Program 5123 North Royal Drive Traverse City, MI 49684 Phone 231-935-0388 E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://www.tbiguide.com/ ABOUT THIS BOOK Nearly all of the survivors of a traumatic head injury and their families with whom I have worked have had one complaint: There is nothing written that explains head injury in clear, easy to understand language. Most say the available material is too medical or too difficult to read. The goal of this online book is to better prepare the head injured person and family for the long road ahead. |
