User Friendly Site for Those Coping With Brain Injury
A new source for victims of and families suffering from a traumatic brain injury has been added to the web. With funding from the government’s Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center the public television and radio station WETA created a new website brainline.org that offers victims and their families a user-friendly source of information with one-click access. It offers such online tools as webcasting, videos, a Facebook page, font enlargement, a glossary that can pop up inside text and a one-click option that translates all text into Spanish. The site offers videos from military and sport injury patients as well as those affected by car accidents and other events. The site is aimed at patients and families as well as community health professionals who may have little experience in recognizing or treating brain injuries.
