accidents, sports injuries, and sometimes physical aggression. According to The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s (CDC) definition, TBI is disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be
caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury. TBI can affect a person physically
