[Saturday, May 9, 2020]

 The Pennsylvania Acquired Brain Injury Program (Program), administered within the Bureau of Family Health, through the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, is a new program created to fund short term intensive brain injury rehabilitation for residents of this Commonwealth 18 to 21 years of age who have sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) which does not include traumatic brain injury.

 To provide these services, the Program will contract with specialized brain injury rehabilitation providers who offer physical, occupational, speech and cognitive therapies along with assistive community integration and psychological services in an outpatient setting. The provider must obtain an accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
