Rehabilitation and Support Services
Individuals with a traumatic brain injury and their families need an array of rehabilitation and support services (click on links below) to enable them to return to the community and live independently. Such services may be provided through different state agencies. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Adult Head Injury Program, Division of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation have designated service coordinators/case managers/counselors to assist individuals with obtaining and coordinating such services.
