Soccer14,

Just got back from MTBI support group. Has a Disabilty Rights Advocate speak. She says there is a program called PATBI (Protection and Advocacy for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury.

They will be under the umbrella of your state Disability Advocacy Agency. These are federally funded and mandated agencies that are available for those needing assistance getting services, such a educational assistance etc.

Check with you local or state BIA Brain Injury Association at http://www.biausa.org/stateoffices.htm
for how to contact your state advocacy agency. Sometimes, these agencies are listed as ADA agencies. Americans with Disabilities Act.

Also check with IDEA at: http://idea.ed.gov/

Consider yourself temporarily disabled, because you are. These agencies are here for you and others like you.

When I was in high school in 1970-73, there were no such advocacy agencies. If there were, my high school experience would have been very different.

Good luck to you.
