TBI: Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury is a low-incidence special education category that is defined as an injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability and/or psycho-social impairment that may adversely affect a student's performance and result in the need for special education and related services. The term does not apply to brain injuries that are congenital or degenerative or brain injuries induced by birth trauma. (MN Rule 3525.1348)
