Some Inspiring News from the Desk of Our Cleveland Brain Injury Attorney

Suffering a brain injury is a highly traumatic event. You feel like you’re damaged goods. It can seem hopeless like you’ll never get any better.

Here’s a recent news article from our Cleveland brain injury attorneys to inspire you.

Just months after suffering serious brain injury, Stephen Monson scored a perfect score on the ACT.

Yet only a few months before taking the test, the high school student could barely play Monopoly because the math was too hard.

Elementary Throwback

The disorientation of brain injury can make you feel less like you’re ready for college and more like you’re elementary school bound, Monson remembers.

“You take for granted the way that you think and the way that your brain operates because you never know how other people’s brains operate,” Monson told The Belleville News-Democrat. “… But when you get a concussion, especially a severe one, it really throws you back to your elementary levels.”

Some Test Taking Advice

What test-taking advice does the teen give the clients of brain injury attorneys in Cleveland? Time yourself.

“My best advice would be: realize that the ACT is extremely dependent on time and that you need to make sure that before you go into the test, you know what it looks like, and you know how to time yourself,” Monson said. “For that, I would recommend heavily take those practice tests. Realize what you’re going to be getting yourself into on test day.”
