Each year in the United States alone, 2.5 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury. The leading cause of traumatic brain injury is falls, followed by sports and recreation injuries, and then motor vehicle crashes. Non-traumatic brain injuries can be caused by brain tumors, infections, exposure to toxins, and strokes. Altogether there are 13.5 million Americans living with brain injury.

Brain injuries cause changes in the brain that can uniquely affect thinking, feeling, behavior, and the ability to perform in everyday life. Some common effects of brain injury include:

• Memory impairment
• Difficulty with executive functions, such as planning, problem solving, evaluating
• Loss of fine motor skills, such as tying shoes, writing, typing
• Physical challenges, such as walking, running
• Sensory motor impairments, such as loss of appetite or smell
• Difficulty in communicating
