The download version of Dr Johnson's Survival Guide is free to download. For those that can afford it, he asks for a small donation to help with the costs of maintaining his web site. Web sites are usually charged based on the amount of traffic to the web site. He does a wonderful service to the TBI and mTBI community.

A downloaded copy can be reformatted to make it easier to read for TBI subjects who may have vision/reading p[problems. For example, I struggle if there is too much information or clutter on a printed page. It that case, I will break up the page to make it easier to read without my brain becoming distracted by the clutter.

Has your daughter had a neuro-psych assessment? These can be a good way of helping the patient put their symptoms into real terms. They can also help the patient accept that they are not losing their mind but just living with a mind that does not always work correctly. Understanding and accepting our dysfunctions is the first step toward learning how to work-around or make accommodations for those dysfunctions.

My best to you and your daughter.
