Many people do not realize how common it is for children to sustain a brain injury. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among children ages 1 to 19 years in the United States. Each year, approximately 40 percent of TBIs in the United States occur in the pediatric population (ages 0 to 19 years).  The Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 60,000 children and adolescents are hospitalized annually in the United States after sustaining moderate to severe brain injuries from motor vehicle crashes, falls, sports and physical abuse with an additional 631,146 seen in hospital emergency rooms and released. In all, nearly 145,000 children aged 0 to 19 years are currently living with long-lasting, significant alterations in social, behavioral, physical and cognitive functioning following a TBI.
