504 Plan
Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
A written plan developed by a general
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.
Hypoxia
decreased amount of O2 to the brain
Anoxia
no O2 to the brain completely
