Abstract
No less than 1 in 5 veterans returning from OEF/OIF have a diagnosed brain injury, many more report having multiple concussive episodes. Both can contribute significantly to behaviors/cognitions that can lead to problems retaining information, processing and other issues that can de-rail ones academic course. If not addressed or identified these problems will create difficulty with long term successful completion of course work and contribute to withdrawal. In this presentation, the participant will be introduced to brain injury, its prevalence within the veteran community and how it can affect academic performance. We will discuss ways a brain injury can contribute to typical problems seen in higher education and be provided with resources and tools to increase successful outcomes.
