1. Patient suffers head injury in car accidnt, now has large blind areas in visual field, cannot see "shapes" of objects, etc.

2. Stroke victime diagnosed w/ agnosia (semantic agnosia) ; has to handle objects in order to remember their name.

Select area of brain damaged in each:

occipital lobe

right temporal lobe

Broca's area

limbic system

cerebellum

reticular formation

I know it's probably not the last three, but these are the choices. I'm confused because it seems both could be due to damage in occipital lobe, but can only use each one once. Since language is basically in the left temporal lobe, right temporal lobe didn't seem correct, either. Help!

I live in So. California. My 15 -year-old daughter has been struggling with Bipolar II and has been hospitalized several times. She is on a new medicatipon regimen (again) and therapy. My question is about IEPs and 504 accommodations. She is now attending public school (11th grade). I am having a 504 meeting next week and need suggestions for accommodations to help her. I'm not sure what to ask for exactly. I have also requested testing and an IEP, which will come later. The 504 is a little more informal and can be done right away apparently.

She wants to do well and is very bright, but gets so stressed out when she can't concentrate. Homework is a big challenge sometimes. So is reading.The mood swings are an on-going problem. Some days she can't settle herself enough to absorb the material, even when I read it to her. I tell her to do what she can, but she feels the teachers will think less of her. She really wants to succeed, but she needs support. Anyone been there? Thanks.
