Full Participation Guidelines: Recommendations for ensuring meaningful engagement for individuals and family members in program activities

Full Participation involves supporting individuals with brain injury by providing tools, resources, and supports so that they are equal, contributing members with a sense of belonging. The original Full Participation Guide was created in 2008 to help states meet this level of support. The updated document is intended as a guide for best practices and can be used readily and frequently by states and partners across all states and settings. The tips and tools provided contribute to the full and meaningful participation of everyone in meetings, work groups and conferences.

Originally created and newly revised by the Full Participation Workgroup, with funds from the Administration for Community Living’s TBI State Partnership Program, in collaboration with Traumatic Brain Injury Technical Assistance and Resource Center (TBI TARC) and NASHIA.
