Ray, Ashlyn M.

Abstract Details

2011, Specialist in Education (Ed.S.), University of Dayton, School Psychology.
The incidence rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are increasing, yet educators continue to be inadequately trained in assessing and serving students who have sustained a TBI. This study examines the efficacy of a half-day TBI training program for Ohio school psychologists designed to improve their knowledge and skills. Results indicated there was little increase in level of knowledge and skills from the pre-workshop to follow-up surveys. School Psychologists exhibited an increase over time in confidence related to their decision making abilities in working with students with TBI. Given the results of this study, a need for increased training for school psychologists is needed in the area of TBI.
