VETERANS AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY OR ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY

LtdCol C.Johnson aka "Cheese"
US Marines

For over 2 years "Cheese" worked with Blu to teach her to write her name and to type on the computer in a live tbichat. Blu's replies to Cheese were just letters at random in the beginning, however, the connectivity of seeing her sit in front of the computer, hit keys on the keyboard and follow his type as I read to her what what he was asking her, was a major break through for Blu.

Janice "Blu" would reply vocally in simple terms y/n/hi/ok.

"Cheese's" efforts and patience in working with Jancie "Blu" reveal the beauty of compassion and understanding between survivors of TBI.

Outstanding is the remarkable attributes shared between a survivor that deals with severe communication impairments, such as "Blu" in comparison to an extremely high functioning Survivor of TBI, "Cheese".
