Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery and Late Effects for Social Security Disability Evaluation

In progress

The U.S. Social Security Administration has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine establish an ad hoc committee to conduct a study to review the latest published research and science and produce a report addressing the diagnosis, prognosis, recovery, and late effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adults. The committee will focus its report on TBIs that cause more than a minimal impact on long-term functioning but that are not so severe as to result in a persistent vegetative state or a similar permanent, complete, and obviously observable loss of functional abilities.
