Intended Audience: Special Education Directors, Principles, General and
Special Education Teachers

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE),
Division of Special Education in conjunction with the Missouri Department of
Health and Senior Services, Office of Special Health Care Needs has located
an excellent on-line training source from the Tennessee Project Brain
network. The training resource was originally developed by the Tennessee
Disability Coalition through a collaboration of the Traumatic Brain Injury
Program of the Tennessee Health Department and the Tennessee Department of
Education, Division of Special Education. DESE has received permission to
post this resource on our website.
The resource information is set up as a "virtual school" for TBI. You can
enter the school and go into different parts of the school for information.
The school has a "family resource center," a "nurse's office" (where you
will find medical information), a "library" (for national resources on TBI),
and a "classroom" (for academic and behavioral interventions) that are all
teacher friendly.
In addition to the training resources, the Missouri Department of Health and
Senior Services, Division of Community and Public Health, Special Health
Care Needs has developed a list of TBI resources specific to Missouri that
can be used. To access the resources, please go to the DESE Effective
Practices website at:
