The 11-17th of August is Brain Injury Awareness Week. Brain Injury is common. Over 600,000 Australians have an acquired brain injury (with 3 out of 4 of them aged under 65 yrs). As many as 2 out of every 3 of these people acquired their brain injury before they turned 25. 3 out of every 4 people with acquired brain injury are men.

One of the recommended exercises for Brain Injury is reading in some shape or form. Whether it be a picture book, cross-words, or a street sign. The power of the brain and words cannot be denied!

As is reading for the brain and its health!
