The Importance of Being Earnest: Brain-Injury (BI) Informed Competencies for Employment Service Providers
In collaboration with the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC), NASHIA Director of Professional Development Maria Crowley authored this blog highlighting the efforts of the Administration for Community Living-funded Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Partnership Program Transition and Employment Workgroup to create a “national, culturally competent, person-centered professional development employment training infrastructure for professionals serving the TBI community, known as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor Competencies.”
These informed competency guidelines aim to assist VR counselors in maximizing success in employment services provided to individuals with brain injury.
