Just followed the link and watched it. Very moving and I too as an BI adult can identify and emphasise with much of what there saying. Thank you skipper53 for sharing this.

This is a fantastic film that should be compulsory watching for all teachers, as an adult with an ABI I feel for any child who has to deal with those kind of scenarios, it's not easy with age and experience behind you but at least I can stand up for myself and even then you're still not believed.

I admire the courage they all have.

Very moving - common theme of not being believed. My heart went out to the cute little guy who said his teacher told him he r'mbers what he wants to. Shocking that so many professional people have no understanding of the long term affects of BI.

Just watched the link. This sends out a very powerful message to so many people in our society that have very little knowledge of brain injury and how it affects ones life.
