More important than any other is the fact that people with
TBI are first and foremost human beings, with a full history behind
them and in front of them. Like all of us, they will cope with life's
changes to the best that their abilities and life circumstances allow.
The most important fact is that the individual with TBI is not a 'case,'
nor a set of symptoms, nor a set of service needs. The most important
consideration is personhood, because when that is remembered by all,
the golden rule is more likely to be applied in viewing the person
and his or her future.
