How this can show up at home, at school, and in play
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can affect play, attention, self-regulation, self-care, and school participation. Damage to the brain from an external mechanical force, affecting function and cognition. When these challenges start creating frustration, fatigue, or added stress for the family, an evaluation can help clarify which skills need support most.
How in-home therapy can help
AVOLA builds in-home treatment plans around functional goals using occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. The focus stays on what matters in real life: moving more confidently, participating more fully at school or at home, and reducing barriers that are making daily routines harder right now.
When it may be time to schedule an evaluation
If your child needs more help than expected with play, dressing, eating, writing, routines, or classroom participation.
If teachers or caregivers notice frequent frustration, avoidance, quick fatigue, or trouble keeping up with important skills.
If you want a clearer picture of what support could help now and how to build a plan for home and school.
