Brain Injury Advocacy

The Brain Injury Advocacy Program at Disability Rights Maine works to protect and enforce the rights of people with brain injuries and to improve access to health, employment, education, and other services for people with brain injury in Maine.

In 2021, Maine passed a law including individuals with brain injury in the statement of rights for individuals with autism and intellectual disability. This means greater protection for Mainers with brain injury, including:

• A defined statement of individual rights;
• Access to a grievance/ complaint process when things go wrong; and
• Easier identification and enforcement of rights.
