"A Boston University Research Initiative Looking for Students with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) who are Currently Enrolled in College Classes"

Do you have a traumatic brain injury?

Are you experiencing cognitive difficulties because of this brain injury?

Are you currently enrolled or are you considering enrolling in community college or university classes in Boston?

If so, a federally funded initiative through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) may be able to help you:

Identify and maintain career goal
Effectively transition to a job after graduation
Improve job readiness
Utilize cognitive support technology

If chosen to participate, Project Career will:

Provide you with an iPad and a customized set of apps designed to support your cognitive functioning
Assist you in obtaining summer internships and other employment-related opportunities
Offer you on-campus training, assessment, and support from the project's Technology and Employment Coordinator
Provide you with a mentor from your chosen field of study
Help you with job search after graduation and the transition to the position

Your participation will support your career preparation needs and challenges and, as a research initiative, help others. Know that this research project has received approval from an Institutional Review Board (an independent ethics committee). Your participation in this free program is voluntary and confidential. You may choose to drop out at any time.
