Brain injury is one of the most commonly occurring, yet least talked about, public health issues in Texas. Survivors and their families often struggle with the cognitive, behavioral and physical consequences of their injuries. Brain injury results in financial burden to the state. Because disabilities resulting from brain injury often are not readily apparent, brain injury is referred to as an invisible condition.
