Jessica Taylor:
Brain injury survivor -  On
the evening of 15 November 1969, the full life that I knew suddenly came to

contact with the steel-plated door at the bottom of the stairs cracked my
skull and rendered me head and brain-injured.

Traumatic Brain Injury
Survival Guide - Nearly all of the survivors of a traumatic head injury
and their families with whom I have worked have had one complaint: There is
nothing written that explains head injury in clear, easy to understand
language. Most say the available material is too medical or too difficult to
read. The goal of this online book is to better prepare the head injured
person and family for the long road ahead. (Online book by Dr. Glen Johnson,
Clinical Neuropsychologist)
