Mild Head Injury as a Source of Developmental Disabilities.

Segalowitz, Sidney J.; Brown, Deborah

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n9 p551-59 Nov 1991

This survey of 616 Canadian high-school adolescents suggests that light and mild head injury is almost 10 times as common as hospital-reported incidence. The study found significant relationships between reported head injury and hyperactivity, stuttering, mixed handedness, and dislike of mathematics. (Author/JDD)
