Service Delivery

In West Virginia individuals with TBI contact the Brain Injury Association of West Virginia for information and referral services. Individuals who are 16 and older requesting employment/training services would contact the Division of Rehabilitation Services central office. Individuals seeking employment services may receive vocational rehabilitation services through the district offices. The division also operates the West Virginia Rehabilitation Center which provides comprehensive evaluation, work activity/vocational training, life skills training, and patient/family education services.

HRSA-Funded Projects

The Division of Rehabilitation Services received a HRSA Planning Grant in 1997; an Implementation Grant (1999- 2001), and Post-Implementation Grants (2002 and 2003) for the purpose of developing a case management system that can be duplicated in agencies/ programs which serve individuals who have sustained a TBI. Through the project, the agency has also developed training modules and conducted extensive training with service providers and educators to increase capacity in the State.
