Service Delivery
In New Hampshire individuals with an ABD with onset prior to age 60 and who are currently 22 years of age or older are eligible for services through the ABD Medicaid Waiver. Medicaid Waiver services include: case management, day services, employment services, personal care services, community support services, family support services, crisis response services, assistive technology, home modification, and specialty services. Entrance into the Waiver system is through one of 12 area agencies which contract with the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Developmental Services (DDS) to provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities and acquired brain disorders. Individuals with onset prior to the age of 22 can be served under New Hampshire's Developmental Disability (DD) Medicaid Waiver.
DDS contracts with the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire to provide resource facilitation, information and referral, education, peer mentoring, and limited family supports to individuals with an ABD and their families.

HRSA-Funded Projects
New Hampshire received a Planning Grant in 1997, an Implementation Grant in 2000, a Post-Demonstration Grant in 2003 and a second Post-Demonstration Grant in 2004. The Implementation Grant focused on self-management of neurobehavioral consequences by developing linked family/caregiver support networks and on the development of regional resource networks and mentoring. The Post-Demonstration Grant in 2003 focused on development of a peer mentor program (Connections), a family Education program and the development of regional resource networks. The 2004 grant is focusing on enhancing the capacity of educators to manage and improve the neurobehavioral consequences of TBI in the educational setting and build collaboration with other State Agencies to improve the transition to adulthood.
