Please feel free forward to your colleagues and share the news of our journal | Special Topic: Managing Transitions for Students in Educational Settings Guest Editors: Roberta DePompei and Ann Glang In this special issue, leading researchers in the field of pediatric brain injury identify key issues in supporting children and youth with brain injuries as they transition to school or college. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the authors address the topic of transition from a range of perspectives. In each article, there is a clear call for ongoing research on supporting students with traumatic brain injury in the school setting. A key goal is to implement promising practices across settings to improve outcomes for children with brain injury. Over the past 25 years, significant progress has been made to address challenges that are highlighted in this issue. However, many of the same challenges identified in the 1990s still exist today across the world. This special issue describes many of these challenges and focuses on practical approaches for developing more effective supports for these students. The issue content is outlined below, which includes a selection of openly available articles.
