    Company Description

    The mission of International Institute for the Brain is to research, develop and implement special education and related services for students with brain injury and brain-based disorders. Brain injury does not just impact the student but the entire family and iBrain's programs are designed to support the entire family. All of our students are non-verbal and non-ambulatory, and they receive 15-20 hours of therapies per week with 1:1 direct instruction for academics. At iBrain, we strive to provide optimal, evidence-based treatment intervention and programs for our students. There is no established leader in the educational landscape for children and youth with brain injury, and the International Institute for the Brain is poised to step into this void – offering leadership, sharing its expertise and dramatically improving the outcomes for the many American youth and others worldwide affected by brain injury and other brain-based disorders.
