  • Title: Redefining success: results of a qualitative study of postsecondary transition outcomes for youth with traumatic brain injury.
    Author: Todis B, Glang A.
    Journal: J Head Trauma Rehabil; 2008; 23(4):252-63. PubMed ID: 18650769.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Identify factors that influence postsecondary education outcomes for students with traumatic brain injury (TBI). DESIGN: Qualitative longitudinal. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-three young adults with TBI, their parents, and knowledgeable others. RESULTS: Students with TBI who received transition services that linked them with disability services and support agencies were more likely to complete postsecondary programs. Internal factors such as positive attitude and determination were also associated with success. CONCLUSIONS: Survey items measuring constructs such as "use of accommodations," "enrolled in special education," and "high school graduation" mask a range of experiences. Transition supports geared to the postsecondary education goals of students with TBI are needed.
