by: Brain
Injury Resource Center --
- A non-profit clearinghouse founded
and operated by brain injury activists since 1985.
- If you have landed on this site it is
probably because you have learned that brain injury
is poorly understood, and you need expert
guidance to make sense of it.
- We offer expert information
and guidance to you our visitors. You may access our
information by browsing our extensive, authoritative
website free of charge 24/7 or you
are welcome to
call us for a free consultation or a sliding scale care
coordination services 206-621-8558.

reflect the best practices in the field of Traumatic Brain
Injury. Sponsorships make this site free and available and

activists you must see that they are on our side. Visit
our sponsors, become a sponsor.
Medical science has only just
begun to unravel the mysteries of brain injury.
- More questions remain than
answers.
- Therefore, it stands to reason that the
general public wouldn't have a clue as to what
they are in for.
- Consequently, when it happens to you, or
someone you love, you find yourself
ill-equipped
to deal with the sweeping, life changes it brings.
- We have answers; call our information Hotline
206-621-8558.
What to do; where do you turn
for help?
- A study by the National Institutes of
Health found that 85% of brain injury patients
do not receive any treatment or counseling concerning
the long term difficulties caused
by brain
injury.
- That
samhttp://mail4.halcyon.com:811/sqmail/src/signout.phpe
study found that the high
cost of rehab services
has placed them out of reach
of many who would
seek help.
- A related study showed that simple
interventions could provide effective work-arounds
for many of the difficulties caused by brain
injury.

You should know
that, a Justice
Department investigation found that several
leading brain injury rehab facilities had taken unfair
and unlawful advantage of their
patients.
- This shocking situation, points to the
vulnerability of patients and their families during
this
difficult time.
- This regrettable situation underscores the
need for consumers to be wise and wary,
and that's
where we come in.

In
Memoriam |
| I just made
a donation to your organization through PayPal.
My uncle, Eddie Pedigo, died yesterday. He had a
horrible motorcycle accident years ago & my cousin
used your resources many times in figuring out what to
do, where to turn & how to go on.
Thank you for being
there for the loved ones of those who must battle
back
or
figure out how to maintain a "normal" life in the
aftermath of these
debilitating injuries.
D.S. |
Self-determination
Thanks to the creative
leadership and innovative approach to problem solving by
staff and
friends of Brain Injury Resource
Center WashingtonState
now has a legal definition of Traumatic Brain Injury.
This means that TBI is now officially
recognized as a separate and distinct disability, as such
it has been accorded legal standing in
state law.
Under the direction and vision of our founder, Constance
Miller, managing director of
BrainInjuryResourceCenter.
She initiated and lead the effort to
put
traumatic brain injury on the legislative agenda. Under the
skillful advocacy of Washington’s
brain injury survivors
their families and friends, the Washington State Legislature
passed a bill
supporting those living with the
effects of traumatic brain injury.
We drafted
and introduced House Bill 2055 under the sponsorship of Rep. Dennis Flannigan.
Surprisingly, a competing bill, Senate Bill 5024. was
introduced at the same time by Sen. Ken Jacobsen.
After careful analysis and comparison we concluded that
the "other" bill would do
little to advance the
cause of TBI.
This turn of
events caused us to re-double of efforts with legislators. We
were able to
convinced them to merge the best of
each bill and in the end the resulting document was the
bill that gained final approval in the House and Senate,
HB 2055, would create a Washington
Traumatic
Brain Injury Strategic Partnership Advisory Council that would
report to the Governor,
the Legislature, and the
Secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services
(DSHS).
HB2055
created a Traumatic Brain Injury Account, funded by an
additional $2 fee on all
traffic infractions, DSHS
was granted authorization to spend monies from the fund on
information
and services related to a public
awareness campaign, support groups, or information and
referral
services.
It is estimated that this fund
would receive $1.5 million every year. Such funds were to
be
made available to community-based organizations
through a request-for-proposal (RFP) process.
The stated legislative intent was
to provide services to meet needs of TBI survivors.
The bill, HB2055 directed the council to consider the
merits of developing a statewide TBI registry.
The bill is officially
named “The Tommy Manning Act,” after a tragically injured
survivor.
However, to read how the bill actually
came about, click here to read "History of
HB 2055."
We really
owe quite a bit to Marty Oroshiba, Keith Nicholson John Ernest
Berry, III,
Eloise Holden and to the other
survivors, friends and families of TBI. It was their
persistent advocacy
and passion that inspired this
legislation.”
Now
that this project is behind us we are poised to launch our
next big adventure.
This time we hope to avoid the
legislative and bureaucratic processes all together.
Building
on lessons learned we are loojing toward
the private sector.
Ultimately, the intent is to change the face of Traumatic
Brain Injury, We in tend to elevate
the status of
TBI from one of pity and shame to one of admiration and
respect.

adventure and to get involved email
