A KIDS ON THE BLOCK PROGRAM ON

BRAIN INJURY

Featuring: Justin Campbell, Melody James and Shaun James


Melody is confused about her brother’s friend Justin. She knows that since his brain injury, some things are different for Justin, but she doesn’t understand HOW they are different. Justin agrees that brain injuries can be confusing and also explains, “Things sure are different for me now that I have a brain injury. But there are other ways that I’m the same as I was before. And in the MOST important ways, I’m the same as everybody.” The Kids on the Block Program on Brain Injury was developed with the cooperation of the Brain Injury Association of America and features 14 year old Justin Campbell, who sustained a brain injury a few months ago. Script material addresses the cognitive and emotional changes associated with brain injury and introduces some common compensatory strategies. The program also examines the impact on relationships with peers, the importance of embracing the present while considering goals for the future, and brain injury prevention. The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets, four scripts, props, follow-up activities, and resources.
