BIAPA facilitates registration of a group of individuals with brain injury, family members, and advocates to attend this important event. While we are there, we visit our legislators to educate them on issues affecting those with brain injury.
A major focus this year is to ask our legislators to support the reauthorization of the TBI Act.
The Congressional Brain Injury Task Force's mission is to further education and awareness of brain injury including its incidence, prevalence, prevention and treatment. If your representative is included on the membership list, contact him or her to offer thanks. If not, contact him or her to suggest that he or she joins the task force.
