Colorado Kids with Brain Injury

Welcome to Colorado Kids with Brain Injury! 

This website serves as a tool for educators, school administrators, school psychologists, related services professionals, community partners, and families to help support our kids in Colorado with brain injuries. The design of this website was funded through a community grant from MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network within the Colorado Department of Human Services and is maintained by the Brain Injury Consultants at the Colorado Department of Education.
