The ABI Program helps students recognize and learn and use compensatory techniques for issue that may persist or be realized after leaving a hospital or formal rehabilitation environment. Participants can begin the ABI program as early as 6 months post-injury or as late as 25+ year post-injury.
Students’ injury types include both traumatic (such as a motor vehicle accident or fall) and non-traumatic (such as a non-age-related stroke, heart attack, brain tumor, hypoxia, or infection). Participants come from a variety of backgrounds including:
- first-time college students
- mid-career professionals
- those in retirement

The ABI Program places an emphasis on the cognitive and psychosocial components of brain injury along with the integration of smart technology providing students with a well-rounded educational experience that generalizes to their day-to-day lives. It operates year-round with four eight-week sessions and one four-week summer session. Classes are held at Coastline’s Newport Beach campus from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, Monday through Thursday.
