TBI et parler avec la POLICE TBI ET PARLER AVEC LA POLICE. Si vous avez subi une lésion cérébrale et que vous êtes incapable de communiquer efficacement avec la police, il est important d'informer la police de votre blessure et de demander l'aide d'un ami de confiance ou d'un membre de votre famille qui pourra vous aider à communiquer avec la police. Si vous n’avez personne pour vous aider, vous pourrez peut-être demander l’assistance d’un interprète ou d’une autre aide à la communication. Il est également important d’être patient et compréhensif avec la police, car elle pourrait ne pas être au courant de votre blessure et avoir de la difficulté à vous comprendre. Si vous rencontrez des difficultés pour communiquer avec la police, vous pouvez envisager de contacter un avocat qui pourra vous aider à protéger vos droits et à défendre vos droits.

I HAVE A BRAIN INJURY. FINDING A JOB WHEN YOU HAVE A BRAIN INJURY. Having a job provides us with feelings of self-worth, responsibility and independence. It nurtures our sense of accomplishment. Common Challenges . Asking for accommodations Over-Cautious employers Mixed or very short working schedules Making money and losing essential support services Bringing your personal assistant Maintaining concentration and attention. Quick or extreme fatigue Speech Memory loss Social relationships Emotional Behavioral Physical abilities Limited vision Assessing Your Abilities and Skills. Think about factors in the workplace that will negatively affect your condition. Some conditions may make you sensitive to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes or certain substances in the workplace. For example, you may have respiratory issues that are aggravated by humidity in the air or dust and fumes. Or you may have hearing issues that are irritated by noise or vibrations from moving machinery. You may also have discomfort working at heights or with certain odors. Identifying your comfort levels with these factors will ensure you only pursue work positions that will suit your condition and not harm you in any way. Use a Variety of Job-Seeking Techniques Personal contacts Classified ads Campus job-placement services Job-placement assistance through temp agencies Disability advocacy or support groups Vocational rehabilitation agencies Take advantage of the Internet When you apply for a position, FOCUS on your qualifications and abilities. Do Your Homework First. Research the company you're applying to. Check with disability advocacy groups to see if the company has a good reputation for hiring, training and promoting workers with disabilities. Find out their strengths and weaknesses. Many corporations' Web sites provide lots of information Know how your background and experience fit with the company. Be prepared to discuss why your strengths. Being familiar with the company, shows you're motivated to work for them. Know What Technologies Can Help You Work Effectively Your skills may be maximized through assistive technology. Speech recognition software StickyKeys Auto-correct, for instance Adjusting a monitor's resolution can make big difference when reading small print easier for people with limited vision. Decide When to Disclose Your Disability Even though federal law states you aren't required to reveal your disability, unless it relates to completing essential job functions, consider being open on this subject. If you volunteer this information, the employer may see you as a strong and confident person. Depending on the circumstances, you could describe your limitations in a resume, cover letter, or job application. If you need a special schedule make this clear on your application, employers dislike being misled. Identify your physical abilities. Consider how your condition affects your ability to do certain work-related activities like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. Make the Interview Easy for the Employer If you are bringing an interpreter, wheelchair, guide dog, etc. notify your interviewers so they can prepare in advance. As needed, inquire about accessible entrances to the building and the best route once inside to get to your interview . Role-Play If your disability makes you do certain tasks differently, are you comfortable explaining how you will perform the job? Try role-playing the situation with a trusted friend, team member or family member. Practice explaining how you will perform your job and what accommodations, if any, you need. Describe how the company would benefit from hiring you. Dress Appropriately Unless specifically encouraged to dress casually, follow the universal code about what to wear to an interview: Dress business casual. For people with limited mobility, the process of dressing for a job interview can be quite a challenge, but it's worth it. Bring Samples of Your Work and Extra Resumes A clean, printed resume. Ask friends and family to write short references about your abilities. Your employer may want to know how well you maintain concentration and attention in the workplace, and your ability to understand, remember and carry out instructions. Samples allow you to illustrate your skills with specific examples. Anticipate and Address Potential Concerns Directly You know some people have fears and prejudices about workers with disabilities, even when they don't express these attitudes directly. If you want the job, you must allay these concerns. Using examples from your own life or prior work experience, discuss how you accomplish activities that challenge you, like getting around the workplace, communicating with others, using equipment and so forth. Handle Illegal Interview Questions with Grace The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made it illegal for employers to ask about medical history during an interview. If you are asked an inappropriate question, respond diplomatically. Try: "Nothing in my personal life will keep me from doing an outstanding job in this position." This answer should satisfy a prospective employer's concerns about your ability to get the job done. Start identifying your career path. Explore your work preferences and understand your strengths in under two minutes. Future-proof yourself for tomorrow's jobs by discovering your work interests based on your personal traits.

These waivers provide a person-centered plan of care for an array of non-medical, home and community-based services to individuals with an acquired brain injury who currently receive or would otherwise require services in an institutional setting. Both waivers are functionally similar, however ABI Waiver II includes new services, has a lower cost cap and does not have Transitional Living Services. Note: ABI Waiver I is currently closed to new participants. Eligibility Criteria To be eligible for the ABI Waiver II, individuals must be: • Eligible for Medicaid • Between ages 18 and 64 with an acquired brain injury • Meet the DSS “Level of Care Requirement” which means that without the waiver services the individual would otherwise receive services in an institutional setting • Able to participate in the development of a service plan in partnership with a DSS social worker or have a conservator to do so. An ABI is an injury to the brain that has occurred after birth which results in improper brain function. The condition cannot be congenital, developmental, or degenerative to be considered for the ABI Waiver II. Med-Connect applicants may also meet the financial eligibility rules for the program through the Medicaid for Employed Disabled coverage group. Under the program, working individuals can have income up to $75,000 per year, $10,000 in assets and receive Medicaid subject to payment of a monthly premium. Individuals who cannot afford the cost of care, but are over Medicaid’s limits may still qualify. The state has a spend down program that evaluates an individual’s care costs and their income. If it is calculated that an individual cannot meet their care costs, they can qualify for Medicaid by spending-down their income over the limit on their medically-necessary care costs. Types of Services & Supports that can be used for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Services may include assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating, bathing, dressing, transferring and toileting. Other supports include, but are not limited to: • Case management (care plan development and monitoring) • Transportation • Vocational support • Independent Living Skills training • Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Services • Homemaker-Companion Services • Respite Services • Home Delivered Meals • Assistive Technology • Home Modifications • Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) Connecticut Waiver Factsheet CT ABI Waiver II (1085.R01.00) Provides ABI group day, adult day health, homemaker, personal care, prevocational services, respite, supported employment, ABI recovery assistant II, ABI recovery assistant, assistive technology, chore, cognitive behavioral programs, community living support services, companion, consultation services, environmental accessibility modifications, home delivered meals, independent living skills training, personal emergency response systems, substance abuse programs, transportation, and vehicle modification services to individuals with brain injury ages 18 or older who meet a hospital, nursing facility, or ICF/IID level of care.
