The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey offers the following Traumatic Brain Injury Video Library.
These video programs are developed as an informational tool about the latest treatments for Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), and are seen as important assets for TBI patients and discharge planners, with information on all aspects of TBI.
Especially interesting to New Jersey patients and the families of TBI victims are the videos about choosing a rehabilitation center and the symptoms of TBI from medical professionals.
