Mission and Program Outcomes

The program was created to address the complex education and transition needs of students with acquired brain injury and their families. The program is based on coursework that has been offered since 1992 through the GSEHD master’s program in transition special education with an emphasis in acquired brain injury.

Some students will use the certificate for increasing their professional opportunities, and developing a niche in brain injury.
