Acquired Brain Injury

​DORS has specialize 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.​
