Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Program at Coastline College

Coastline's ABI Program is a demanding one-year educational program designed to provide structured cognitive retraining for adults who have sustained a brain injury due to traumatic (such as a motor vehicle accident or fall) or non-traumatic (such as a non-age-related stroke, brain tumor or infection) injuries.

The ABI program is designed to support individuals as they near completion of their traditional medical rehabilitation with the following:

• Build and strengthen students' cognitive function
• Increase student awareness
• Develop insights about implications of injuries

Participants in the program come from a variety of backgrounds including first-time college students, professionals in the midst of their careers, and those in retirement. Once accepted, students are placed into a team that fits their needs and is tailored to assist them in moving forward. See what ABI students have to say about the program.

Coastline's ABI students' injury types include both traumatic (such as a motor vehicle accident or fall) and non-traumatic (such as a non-age-related stroke, brain tumor, hypoxia or infection). Participants can begin the ABI Program as early as 6 months post-injury or as late as 25+ years post-injury.

Our instructors have over 150 years combined experience working with those living with brain injury. The ABI Program faculty and staff pride themselves on being at the forefront of innovation within the field. The program fosters an environment of encouragement and support from faculty, staff, and other students. This support begins when students enroll and continues well after graduation.
