27 year TBI survivor here from a bad car wreck on 3/31/97... I was in the hospital 26 days and in Physical Therapy 18 months... I struggle with repeating myself,poor multitasking skills,poor short term memory loss etc... Post TBI I attempted and failed at several careers-( Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman,911 Radio Dispatcher) The combination of TBI issues,PTSD issues and career failures led to increased depression,anxiety and suicidal thoughts... I FINALLY have a somewhat decent quality of life... I FINALLY received SSDI-( Social Security Disability Income ) after 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys... I now drive part time for a car dealership and build model cars as a hobby... These activities give my life meaning,help me deal with my TBI and PTSD issues,and improve my self esteem...

It is hard to say because it is different for different people. To help him now, make sure he gets brain breaks. We have a video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation You Tube channel on brain breaks. We also have one on improving memory after brain injury. Could he get cognitive therapy?
