I HAVE A BRAIN INJURY FINDING A JOB WHEN YOU HAVE A BRAIN INJURY. Having a job provides us with feelings of self-worth, responsibility and independence. It nurtures our sense of accomplishment. Common Challenges . Asking for accommodations Over-Cautious employers Mixed or very short working schedules Making money and loosing essential support services Bringing your personal assistant Maintaining concentration and attention. Quick or extreme fatigue Speech Memory loss Social relationships Emotional Behavioral Physical abilities Limited vision Assessing Your Abilities and Skills. Think about factors in the workplace that will negatively affect your condition. Some conditions may make you sensitive to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes or certain substances in the workplace. For example, you may have respiratory issues that are aggravated by humidity in the air or dust and fumes. Or you may have hearing issues that are irritated by noise or vibrations from moving machinery. You may also have a discomfort working at heights or with certain odors. Identifying your comfort levels with these factors will ensure you only pursue work positions that will suit your condition and not harm you in any way. Use a Variety of Job-Seeking Techniques Personal contacts Classified ads Campus job-placement services Job-placement assistance through temp agencies Disability advocacy or support groups Vocational rehabilitation agencies Take advantage of the Internet When you apply for a position, FOCUS on your qualifications and abilities. Do Your Homework First. Research the company you're applying to. Check with disability advocacy groups to see if the company has a good reputation for hiring, training and promoting workers with disabilities. Find out their strengths and weaknesses. Many corporations' Web sites provide lots of information Know how your background and experience fit with the company. Be prepared to discuss why your strengths. Being familiar with the company, shows you're motivated to work for them. Know What Technologies Can Help You Work Effectively Your skills may be maximized through assistive technology. Speech recognition software StickyKeys Auto-correct, for instance Adjusting a monitor's resolution can make big difference when reading small print easier for people with limited vision. Decide When to Disclose Your Disability Even though federal law states you aren't required to reveal your disability, unless it relates to completing essential job functions, consider being open on this subject. If you volunteer this information, the employer may see you as a strong and confident person. Depending on the circumstances, you could describe your limitations in a resume, cover letter, or job application. If you need a special schedule make this clear on your application, employers dislike being mislead. Identify your physical abilities. Consider how your condition affects your ability to do certain work-related activities like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. Make the Interview Easy for the Employer If you are bringing an interpreter, wheelchair, guide dog, etc. notify your interviewers so they can prepare in advance. As needed, inquire about accessible entrances to the building and the best route once inside to get to your interview. Role-Play If your disability makes you do certain tasks differently, are you comfortable explaining how you will perform the job? Try role-playing the situation with a trusted friend, team member or family member. Practice explaining how you will perform your job and what accommodations, if any, you need. Describe how the company would benefit from hiring you. Dress Appropriately Unless specifically encouraged to dress casually, follow the universal code about what to wear to an interview: Dress business casual. For people with limited mobility, the process of dressing for a job interview can be quite a challenge, but it's worth it. Bring Samples of Your Work and Extra Resumes A clean, printed resume. Ask friends and family to write short references about your abilities. Your employer may want to know how well you maintain concentration and attention in a workplace, and your ability to understand, remember, and carry out instructions. Samples allow you to illustrate your skills with specific examples. Anticipate and Address Potential Concerns Directly You know some people have fears and prejudices about workers with disabilities, even when they don't express these attitudes directly. If you want the job, you must allay these concerns. Using examples from your own life or prior work experience, discuss how you accomplish activities that challenge you, like getting around the workplace, communicating with others, using equipment and so forth. Handle Illegal Interview Questions with Grace The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made it illegal for employers to ask about medical history during an interview. If you are asked inappropriate question, respond diplomatically. Try: "Nothing in my personal life will keep me from doing an outstanding job in this position." This answer should satisfy a prospective employer's concerns about your ability to get the job done.

What is the MFP Program and what does it do? The MFP program helps a person with the funding and organization of moving out of a medical facility. It helps with setting up housing, necessities, medical equipment and temporary in home caregivers. MFP is a federal demonstration grant, received by the CT Department of Social Services from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to help rebalance the long-term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice regarding where they live and receive care and services. The program builds on current programs by offering enhanced community services and support to those who have resided in nursing facilities for at least three months. Under MFP, CT will receive, for those transitioning back to the community, an enhanced Medicaid match of nine million dollars over five years, being reimbursed for 75 percent of costs for the first year back in the community instead of the customary 50 percent. This federal support is a financial incentive for Conn. to reduce the use of more expensive institutional care for Medicaid recipients. The approach is more cost-effective for taxpayers and is expected to lead to improved quality of life for older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental illness. People transitioning back into the community have the choice of where they want to live, whether it’s the person’s own home, a family member’s home, an apartment or congregate living. Goals of the MFP Increase dollars spent on home and community based services. Increase the percent of people receiving their long-term services in the community relative to those in institutions. Decrease the number of hospital discharges to nursing facilities for those requiring care after discharge. Increase the probability of people returning to the community within the first three months of admission to an institution Transition individuals out of institutions and back into the community Individualized care plans are created based on need. CCCI transition coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with community supports, system navigation, accessing resources and living arrangements.
