Common Challenges . Asking for accommodations Over-Cautious employers Mixed or very short working schedules Making money and losing essential support services Bringing your personal assistant Maintaining concentration and attention. Quick or extreme fatigue Speech Memory loss Social relationships Emotional Behavioral Physical abilities Limited vision Assessing Your Abilities and Skills. Think about factors in the workplace that will negatively affect your condition. Some conditions may make you sensitive to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes or certain substances in the workplace. For example, you may have respiratory issues that are aggravated by humidity in the air or dust and fumes. Or you may have hearing issues that are irritated by noise or vibrations from moving machinery. You may also have discomfort working at heights or with certain odors. Identifying your comfort levels with these factors will ensure you only pursue work positions that will suit your condition and not harm you in any way. Use a Variety of Job-Seeking Techniques Personal contacts Classified ads Campus job-placement services Job-placement assistance through temp agencies Disability advocacy or support groups Vocational rehabilitation agencies Take advantage of the Internet When you apply for a position, FOCUS on your qualifications and abilities. Do Your Homework First. Research the company you're applying to. Check with disability advocacy groups to see if the company has a good reputation for hiring, training and promoting workers with disabilities. Find out their strengths and weaknesses. Many corporations' Web sites provide lots of information Know how your background and experience fit with the company. Be prepared to discuss why your strengths. Being familiar with the company, shows you're motivated to work for them. Know What Technologies Can Help You Work Effectively Your skills may be maximized through assistive technology. Speech recognition software StickyKeys Auto-correct, for instance Adjusting a monitor's resolution can make big difference when reading small print easier for people with limited vision. Decide When to Disclose Your Disability Even though federal law states you aren't required to reveal your disability, unless it relates to completing essential job functions, consider being open on this subject. If you volunteer this information, the employer may see you as a strong and confident person. Depending on the circumstances, you could describe your limitations in a resume, cover letter, or job application. If you need a special schedule make this clear on your application, employers dislike being misled. Identify your physical abilities. Consider how your condition affects your ability to do certain work-related activities like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. Make the Interview Easy for the Employer If you are bringing an interpreter, wheelchair, guide dog, etc. notify your interviewers so they can prepare in advance. As needed, inquire about accessible entrances to the building and the best route once inside to get to your interview . Role-Play If your disability makes you do certain tasks differently, are you comfortable explaining how you will perform the job? Try role-playing the situation with a trusted friend, team member or family member. Practice explaining how you will perform your job and what accommodations, if any, you need. Describe how the company would benefit from hiring you. Dress Appropriately Unless specifically encouraged to dress casually, follow the universal code about what to wear to an interview: Dress business casual. For people with limited mobility, the process of dressing for a job interview can be quite a challenge, but it's worth it. Bring Samples of Your Work and Extra Resumes A clean, printed resume. Ask friends and family to write short references about your abilities. Your employer may want to know how well you maintain concentration and attention in the workplace, and your ability to understand, remember and carry out instructions. Samples allow you to illustrate your skills with specific examples. Anticipate and Address Potential Concerns Directly You know some people have fears and prejudices about workers with disabilities, even when they don't express these attitudes directly. If you want the job, you must allay these concerns. Using examples from your own life or prior work experience, discuss how you accomplish activities that challenge you, like getting around the workplace, communicating with others, using equipment and so forth. Handle Illegal Interview Questions with Grace The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made it illegal for employers to ask about medical history during an interview. If you are asked an inappropriate question, respond diplomatically. Try: "Nothing in my personal life will keep me from doing an outstanding job in this position." This answer should satisfy a prospective employer's concerns about your ability to get the job done. Start identifying your career path.

- BRAIN INJURY EFFECTS - CONNECTICUT COMMUNITY SUPPORT TBI | ABI RESOURCES
What are the Potential Effects of TBI? The severity of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may range from “mild” (i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness) to “severe” (i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury). A TBI can cause a wide range of functional short- or long-term changes affecting: Thinking (i.e., memory and reasoning); Sensation (i.e., sight and balance); Language (i.e., communication, expression, and understanding); and Emotion (i.e., depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out, and social inappropriateness). A TBI can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders. About 75% of TBIs that occur each year are concussions or other forms of mild TBI. Repeated mild TBIs occurring over an extended period of time can result in cumulative neurological and cognitive deficits. Repeated mild TBIs occurring within a short period of time (i.e., hours, days, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal. For information on how to prevent TBI and the potentially serious effects from this injury, please visit TBI Prevention page.

- CONNECTICUT - MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON program MFP application | ABI RESOURCES
What is the MFP Program and what does it do? The MFP program helps a person with the funding and organization of moving out of a medical facility. It helps with setting up housing, necessities, medical equipment and temporary in home caregivers. MFP is a federal demonstration grant, received by the CT Department of Social Services from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to help rebalance the long-term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice regarding where they live and receive care and services. The program builds on current programs by offering enhanced community services and support to those who have resided in nursing facilities for at least three months. Under MFP, CT will receive, for those transitioning back to the community, an enhanced Medicaid match of nine million dollars over five years, being reimbursed for 75 percent of costs for the first year back in the community instead of the customary 50 percent. This federal support is a financial incentive for Conn. to reduce the use of more expensive institutional care for Medicaid recipients. The approach is more cost-effective for taxpayers and is expected to lead to improved quality of life for older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental illness. People transitioning back into the community have the choice of where they want to live, whether it’s the person’s own home, a family member’s home, an apartment or congregate living. Goals of the MFP Increase dollars spent on home and community based services. Increase the percent of people receiving their long-term services in the community relative to those in institutions. Decrease the number of hospital discharges to nursing facilities for those requiring care after discharge. Increase the probability of people returning to the community within the first three months of admission to an institution Transition individuals out of institutions and back into the community Individualized care plans are created based on need. CCCI transition coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with community supports, system navigation, accessing resources and living arrangements.

CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT ALLIED CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT ALLIED 1/6 APPLY HERE The Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program is a valuable initiative that offers personalized care services to adults aged 18 to 64 who suffer from chronic, severe, and enduring disabilities. This program facilitates the opportunity for these individuals to remain in the comfort of their homes, thereby circumventing the need for institutionalization in long-term care facilities, nursing homes, or similar establishments. Personal Care Attendants are employed to aid program participants in carrying out their activities of daily living (ADLs), promoting an independent lifestyle within their own homes. Please note that there is a waiting list for enrollment into this program. Eligibility for the PCA program is determined through a two-part process. The first part, functionality, requires the demonstration of the applicant's need for hands-on assistance with at least three of the seven core Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). These essential ADLs include: Bathing – Assistance required for appropriate personal hygiene Dressing – Assistance required for appropriate attire Eating/Feeding – Assistance required for proper nourishment (excluding meal preparation) Toileting – Assistance required for proper restroom usage and subsequent personal hygiene Transfer – Assistance required for safe mobility between chairs or bed Medication – Assistance required for the preparation and administration of prescribed medication Behavioral – Daily supervision required to prevent self-harm or harm to others. The second part of the eligibility process pertains to financial criteria. Applicants must qualify for Medicaid by the time services are received. While applicants do not need to meet Medicaid's financial thresholds while on the PCA waiting list, they must have applied and qualified for Medicaid by the time they are selected from the waiting list. Personal Care Attendants, often referred to as PCAs, are a critical component of the healthcare sector. They provide one-on-one, in-home care for clients, enabling them to uphold their independence and live as comfortably as possible. Numerous PCA positions are available nationwide, offering a fulfilling career path for individuals who demonstrate compassion, patience, and a commitment to assisting others. Prospective PCAs must undergo an extensive interview process and may be required to pass a drug screening. In summary, Personal Care Attendants play a crucial role in healthcare, providing in-home support for individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. These roles are widely available and can offer a rewarding career for those with a passion for helping others. Applicants must successfully navigate a rigorous interview process, pass a drug screening, and present a professional resume.
- Concussion Help - Connecticut - Brain Injury Community CT | ABI RESOURCES
What should I do if a Concussion Occurs? People with a concussion need to be seen by a healthcare professional. If you think you or someone you know has a concussion, contact your healthcare professional. Your healthcare professional can evaluate your concussion and determine if you need to be referred to a neurologist, neuropsychologist, neurosurgeon, or specialist in rehabilitation (such as a speech pathologist) for specialized care. Getting help soon after the injury by trained specialists may improve recovery. See Signs and Symptoms , to learn about common signs and symptoms that you may experience, and to learn about danger signs and when to seek immediate medical attention. What to Expect When You See a Health Care Professional While most people are seen in an emergency department or medical office, some people must stay in the hospital overnight. Your healthcare professional may do a scan of your brain (such as a CT scan) or other tests. Additional tests might be necessary, such as tests of your learning, memory concentration, and problem-solving. These tests are called “neuropsychological” or “neurocognitive” tests and can help your healthcare professional identify the effects of a concussion. Even if the concussion doesn’t show up on these tests, you may still have a concussion. Your healthcare professional will send you home with important instructions to follow. Be sure to follow all of your healthcare professional’s instructions carefully. If you are taking medications—prescription, over-the-counter medicines, or “natural remedies”—or if you drink alcohol or take illicit drugs, tell your health care professional. Also, tell your health care professional if you are taking blood thinners (anticoagulant drugs), such as Coumadin and aspirin because they can increase the chance of complications. See Getting Better , for tips to help aid your recovery after a concussion.
