title: Rehabilitation and ongoing support after pediatric TBI: twenty years of progress.
abstract: This article summarizes major developments of the past 20 years in both acute and chronic management of children with traumatic brain injury. The article begins with brief summaries of developments in acute and rehabilitative medical management and physical rehabilitation. Because long-term cognitive, behavioral, academic, and family issues tend to be dominant after pediatric TBI, more attention is given to these topics. The article ends with a list of general themes that have been identified as critical in providing effective long-term services and supports to children with TBI and their families.
