TBI WAIVER

Philosophy of the TBI Waiver

The dignity of risk and right to fail are integral parts of the waiver’s philosophy. The philosophy of the waiver supports the participant’s right to choose where to live, who to live and socialize with, and what goals and activities to pursue. Waiver services are provided based on the participant’s unique strengths, needs, choices
and goals. The individual is the primary decision-maker and works in cooperation with providers to develop a plan for services. This process leads to personal empowerment, increased independence, greater community inclusion, self-reliance and meaningful and productive activities.

Who is eligible and should apply?

Adults with a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
NOTE: Individuals who experience deficits similar to a traumatic brain injury as a result of anoxia, toxic poisoning, stroke or other neurological conditions may also be eligible.
