Isabella’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver Program is dedicated to assisting individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury to live as independently as possible in their own homes and within their communities.
The philosophy of the waiver supports the participant's right to choose the environment in which they live and which goals and activities to pursue.
What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain. A TBI can result in short or long term problems with independent function.
Each year 1.9 million Americans experience a brain injury and 80,000 suffer from a long-term disability.
