Sarah Jane, a 4 year old Washington girl, was violently shaken by a nurse when she was 5 days old. Sarah Jane Donohue’s brain is so damaged she cannot speak or crawl. She lives in Washington with her father.

The girl’s plight and her father’s activism are catapulting doctors and hospitals across the nation to figure out how best to serve children with brain damage.

A doctor at UNC-Chapel Hill is developing a plan to standardize the care that adolescents receive after their brains are compromised in accidents or by abuse or disease. Around the country, grants will enable a researcher in every state to map out similar plans.

Children with Brain Injury

More than 1million adolescents are hospitalized each year because of brain injuries across the country. Some are hurt in car accidents, playground accidents or ballgames. Others are shaken or battered. The brains of others are damaged by disease.

About 5,000 of these patients die, and 17,000 are permanently disabled.
