Acquired Brain Injury

​DORS has specialized services for job seekers whose primary disability is acquired brain injury (ABI).​

An acquired brain injury is an injury to the brain that was not present at birth. The ABI could be the result of a traumatic event like a motor vehicle accident, fall, assault, sports injury, or concussion, or it could be a non-traumatic event like a brain aneurysm, brain tumor, stroke, or infection.

DORS works with our community rehabilitation partners to provide individualized, long-term, and ongoing support services to people with ABI to help them get and keep a job.

ABI Counselors

DORS has counselors throughout the state who are specially​ trained to work with people with ABI. Please feel free to contact the ABI counselor nearest to your home to learn more about​ DORS, and help you decide if DORS might be able to assist you in meeting your employment goals.​
