This study shows that the Brain Injury Partners computer program effectively trained parents of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in essential advocacy skills. Parents using the program demonstrated improved knowledge and application of these skills.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurorehabilitation
  • Educational Psychology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often require specialized educational support.
  • Parents play a crucial role in advocating for their child's educational needs.
  • Effective communication between parents and school personnel is vital for successful TBI recovery and academic progress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the "Brain Injury Partners: Advocacy Skills for Parents" interactive multimedia intervention.
  • To assess the intervention's impact on parents' knowledge, skill application, and attitudes regarding educational advocacy for children with TBI.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial design was employed.
  • Participants were assigned to either the "Brain Injury Partners" CD-ROM intervention group or a control group using an alternate CD-ROM.

    • The intervention demonstrated a positive impact on parents' ability to acquire and utilize advocacy skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms the utility of a computer-delivered intervention for enhancing parents' advocacy skills.
