Hi, Ephie! Mark is, as always, full of great information here. I would like to add that we found some great information that eventually helped my daughter through the VA. Better armour and different types of explosives have changed the way our soldiers experience head injury (less fatal, more subtle and long-lasting).

NPR had a great series if you google "NPR" "Head Injury" "VA" I think you'll find it.

In every way I can tell my daughter is back to her pre-injury status, but I just can't help but come back here once in awhile to see if I can help someone in some way.

PCSLearner,

Was your daughter injured while serving in the military?

The VA is doing lots of work with concussion. Unfortunately, they appear to have ignored the work done by Robert Thatcher Ph.D. with qEEG at Bay Pines VA Hospital in Florida.

No, she was 15 years old, just about to start her sophomore year of high school. Not military

We just found research through VA website and information on NPR about VA research into vision therapy.

Thanks for all the info, Mark and PCS. I appreciate it. I talked with my staff neurologist, who brought me up to speed with the research, and lack thereof, and answered/confirmed my questions/concerns.
