[QUOTE="kellykay, post: 475604, member: 13110"] Wow, I have never heard of most of the things you have mentioned! I am very misinformed on all of this! Until the school board brought the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) man in i didnt even understand the extent of his injuries or the long term effects this all would have on him!
