504 Plan
Section 504 of the

education school committee outlining
accommodations to be made by a K-12 or
post-secondary school that receives federal
funds for a student with a disabling condition
that substantially limits a major life activity.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) - ✅✅Also known as dementia
pugilistica, refers to a condition, diagnosed after death, relative to multiple
concussions caused by significant force. A progressive degenerative disease that is
most often sustained by athletes participating in contact sports, where it is
sometimes termed punch drunk. May also be observed in domestic violence
victims or abused children who have sustained numerous blows to the head. It
begins very slowly with deterioration in concentration, attention, memory,
judgment, and insight, occasionally accompanied by dizziness and headaches.
Severe symptoms of eventually show symptoms of Parkinsonism, including
,disturbed coordination, slowed gait, slurred speech, masked facies, difficulty
swallowing and tremors.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) - ✅✅An injury to the brain that is not hereditary,
congenital, degenerative, or induced by birth trauma
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - ✅✅an alteration in brain function, or other
evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force
closed injuries - ✅✅Can cause brain lacerations and contusions, or
intracerebral hemorrhage within the brain causing focal injuries. i.e. coup-
countercoup, and/or diffuse injury resulting from tearing or shearing of axons i.e.
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI)
Open injuries - ✅✅Breach of the skull or a breach of the meninges. These
injuries often result in focal injuries (such as epidural or SDH, or ICH) or
penetrating injury i.e. gunshot wound
Mild TBI (mTBI) - ✅✅Can have either brief or no loss of consciousness and its
presentation may demonstrate vomiting, lethargy, dizziness, and inability to recall
what just happened.
Moderate TBI - ✅✅Will be marked by unconsciousness for any period of time
up to 24hours, will have neurological signs of brain trauma, including skull
fractures with contusion or bleeding, and may have focal findings on an
electroencephalograph (EEG)/computed tomography (CT) scan.
, Normal or abnormal structural imaging; LOC >30min and <24 hr; AOC >24 hr
severity based on other criteria; PTA >1 and <7 days; GCS = 9-12
Severe TBI - ✅✅Marked by a period of loss of consciousness of 24 hours or
greater.
Normal or abnormal structural imaging; LOC >24 hr; PTA >7 days; GCS = 3-8
Incidence - ✅✅occurrence; i.e. a certain number of brain injuries within a given
year.
Prevalence of Injury - ✅✅The number of people with a given condition (i.e.
ABI) at a specific point in time
Mild Brain Injury (mBI) - ✅✅Injury to the brain, with Glasgow Coma Scores
(GCS) between 13-15; Normal Structural Imaging; LOC = 0-30 minutes; AOC =
from a moment up to 24hr; PTA = 0-1 day
Akinesia - ✅✅slowness or loss of movement
epidural hematoma (EDH) - ✅✅Hematoma on the surface of the meninges but
inside the skull, displacing the brain
Subdural Hematoma - ✅✅Bleeding between the dura mater and the arachnoid
layers of the meninges.
