New resource for children
12 Jun 2011
Beaumont Hospital School today launched a new web-based resource to help teachers throughout Ireland assess and manage the effects of brain injuries on children's learning patterns.
Beaumont Hospital School Principal Ms Avril Carey undertook research two years ago into how a group of children who had attended Beaumont with acquired brain injury had fared on returning to school. This confirmed that some children and young people with mild ABI may have consequent learning or behavioural difficulties, including problems with memory, attention span and reasoning.
The findings of her research prompted Ms Carey to develop, with the assistance of colleagues in the hospital, a set of resources to help teachers in "home" schools identify and address such problems where they exist.
