Gaps in Services for ABICRC:For those with Stroke,
aneurysms, brain tumors there are barely any services outside of support groups
Trained staff to treat in the community like counselors, neuropsychologists and case managers
Substance or dual diagnosis programs that are familiar with neurological issues.
CSA:In-home case
management services For some, minimal
services = maximum gain
Existing providers familiar with needs of older population, not younger survivors (i.e., stroke)
![Page 14: ABI Commission 8/1/2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815055550346895dbe55ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gaps in Service for ABICRC:No Adult funding
mechanisms to provide on going care.
CSA:SHIP funding limited
to Traumatic Brain Injury
Mass Health does not fund community based ABI services outside of waiver eligible

Gaps in Services for ABICRC:Day servicesHousingThe RIDE does not
serve several areas on the North Shore, (i.e.. Boxford, N Reading); no other options
CSA:Day programs geared
toward DD/elders, not ABI
Waitlists for housing 5-13 years; Section 8 rental caps much lower than market rent
Limited transportation routes/hours, no evenings, weekends
![Page 16: ABI Commission 8/1/2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815055550346895dbe55ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

cognitive therapy. Hospitals focus on physical needs (i.e.. swallowing, PT, OT)
Limited to no vocational programs for training clients with return to work skills
CSA:No cognitive therapy
programs on Cape; SLPs not always familiar
Pre-vocational services (volunteer placement, skill training)
![Page 17: ABI Commission 8/1/2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815055550346895dbe55ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Gaps in Services for ABICRC:Independent living
center in Salem is a great resource for people with disabilities, but not necessarily focused on ABI
No supportive housing or group homes
CSA:Independent living
center in Hyannis does not accommodate cognitive needs of ABI
No funding for supported living
![Page 18: ABI Commission 8/1/2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815055550346895dbe55ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Gaps in Services for ABISupportive living model is
about directing your care, and ABI clients cannot do this. So then they need a surrogate but who pays for that?
Lack of assistive technology interventions
There may be access to substance abuse and psychiatric help but the ABI does not fit the model
