To describe and analyze educational and post-high school participation of individuals who sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) during childhood and participated in a state-wide school-based brain injury support program, BrainSTEPS in Pennsylvania (BrainSTEPS).

Retrospective analysis of programmatic information and data collected through electronic and phone surveys during a follow-up survey for a statewide, school-based, school consultation program for students with ABI.

Caregivers reported on 190 individuals with ABI who participated in Pennsylvania’s BrainSTEPS Program.

Individuals post-ABI who participated in the BrainSTEPS were most likely to have experienced a mild ABI in high school due to sports. Post-injury, students were most likely to be enrolled in regular education, have graduated high school, pursued four-year college education and be attending post-secondary education and living with family. Additional significant relationships were not reported within the concussion or moderate-severe traumatic brain injury subgroups. Significant relationships for educational outcomes included higher likelihood of regular educational placement at the time of referral given an older grade at injury and regular educational placement before injury. For post-high school outcomes, a younger age at survey was associated with current attendance in post-secondary education, compared to other vocational options.

Individuals with a history of ABI before school age and during primary and secondary education present with heterogeneous educational and post-high school outcomes. A greater breadth of measures of formal and informal educational and vocational supports and post-high school attainment should be implemented to accurately capture the needs and outcomes of these students to inform supports and services.

描述和分析在童年时期遭受后天性脑损伤 (ABI) 并参加全州范围内基于学校的脑损伤支持计划宾夕法尼亚州 BrainSTEPS (BrainSTEPS) 的个人的教育和高中后参与情况。

在针对 ABI 学生的全州范围内、以学校为基础的学校咨询计划的后续调查期间，对通过电子和电话调查收集的计划信息和数据进行回顾性分析。

护理人员报告了 190 名参加宾夕法尼亚州 BrainSTEPS 计划的 ABI 患者。

参加 BrainSTEPS 后 ABI 的个人最有可能在高中时因运动而经历过轻度 ABI。受伤后，学生最有可能接受正规教育、高中毕业、接受四年制大学教育、接受高等教育并与家人同住。在脑震荡或中度至重度创伤性脑损伤亚组中未报告其他重要关系。教育成果的重要关系包括在转诊时考虑到受伤​​时的高年级和受伤前的正规教育安置的可能性更高。对于高中毕业后的成绩，与其他职业选择相比，调查时年龄较小与目前接受高等教育有关。

在学龄前和小学和中学教育期间有 ABI 病史的个体表现出不同的教育和高中后结果。应实施更广泛的正规和非正规教育和职业支持措施以及高中后学历措施，以准确捕捉这些学生的需求和结果，为支持和服务提供信息。
