Consider your emotional baggage when you still want to learn! Today we are speaking with Laurel who had a brain injury at age 17. She lost her hearing in one ear, but that did not stop her. Laurel became an attorney, a licensed professional counselor (LPC), and is now a board member at BIN. She never gave up her quest to learn and graduated with her law degree and still teaches continuing LPC classes quarterly. Running four times a week keeps her recovery going strong. Although she still has challenges, including time management, swallowing, eating, and partial hearing loss, she has found great compensation strategies. Laurel manages her time by returning emails and phone calls to specified times. No matter your age when you have a brain injury, you can still achieve great things.
