After suffering a severe Traumatic Brain Injury at age 15, Kelly returned to school in '92-'93 with multiple disabilities including double vision, memory loss, and aphasia. Undaunted, Kelly struggled to graduate from a school adapting to a new disability category -- TBI. Developing coping techniques on her own and with varied assistance, Kelly continued to persevere, completing both college and a Masters in special education at Salem College. She currently writes and teaches in North Carolina where she resides with her husband and son.
Those who suffer from TBI should benefit from Kelly Darmofal's
advice. She speaks often of the value of a sense of humor in
dealing with TBI symptoms and quotes Viktor Frankl who believed
that humor was one of the "...soul's weapons in the fight for self
preservation." I strongly recommend her work.
--Dr. George E. Naff, NCC, LPC, Diplomate in Logotherapy
Kelly is a wonderful resource about TBI for survivors, caregivers,
teachers, and the entire community. The wisdom gained from her own
experience makes her believable; the frankness and sense of humor
that she reveals as she writes makes her authentic... Kelly and her
publications have become a trusted resource for our clients who are
surviving from a TBI.
--Barbara Saulpaugh, Regional Executive Director, CareNet
Counseling, an affiliate of Wake Forest Baptist Health
