  • Applications are due December 2nd! Don't miss out on this opportunity to improve outcomes in your state!

    “Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age.” (cdc.gov) These nonmedical factors result in well documented health and well being disparities among minority and marginalized populations, including the focus populations in NASHIA's next Leading Practices Academy. No matter where your state is along the continuum of infrastructure development, NASHIA is ready to help with strategic, customized technical assistance. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY DECEMBER 2ND.

    • A meta-analysis found the prevalence of brain injury in the criminal justice population to be as high as 97% in female offenders (Wall 2019). Your state *CAN* improve outcomes.

  • A recent study showed that only 1 in 2 people seek medical care for a suspected concussion. Of the 50% who do seek medical care, 50% of concussions are missed or misdiagnosed. NASHIA is a member of the Concussion Awareness Now coalition (CAN), and CAN is working to change this. A newly launched resource hub on the CAN website for healthcare providers and allied professionals is now available! The site aims to provide high-quality resources for providers focused on all states of concussion - diagnosis, ongoing management, return to work/school, collaboration with other providers, and education resources to provide to patients and their caregivers. The hub can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/eZGttuXN

    • 50% of people who suspect a concussion never get it checked. Of those who do, half are misdiagnosed.

  • This summer, NASHIA facilitated DETAC's Show Me the Money! Accessing Medicaid Administrative Claiming for Brain Injury Services and Supports e-Learning community.

  • Education and advocacy is a powerful tool for driving positive change. This Toolkit is meant to provide individuals with lived experience, whether on Brain Injury Advisory Councils or other advocates, family members, advocacy organizations, providers, and others with the resources and strategies to effectively advocate for your cause, primarily at a state level. It is also meant to support states in understanding the various ways to support individuals in educating and advocating at the state level. The purpose of this is to cultivate a robust network of advocates capable of driving meaningful change in home and community based supports for people with brain injury.

    • A recent study found that children with concussion seen in an emergency department were more likely to be non-Hispanic Black, have public insurance, and have a lower Child Opportunity Index score compared to children cared for in the primary care or specialty care setting. (Corwin et al., 2024). Your state *can* improve health equity and access to care. NASHIA Leading Practices Academy.

  • The lack of available accessible housing options can impact the independence and autonomy of a person with disabilities more than almost anything else, limiting choice and isolating people with disabilities in geographic pockets in cities, towns, and all across the U.S. Home modifications, including the use of assistive technology (AT), can widen the scope of accessible housing options by addressing the accessibility needs of individuals with disabilities and adapting their environment to meet those needs. A partnership between the New York State (NYS) Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD), the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD), the NYS TRAID Assistive Technology Program, and local partners across New York explored how the community living options for people with developmental disabilities could be expanded through increased access to AT. With funding from the NYS CDD, WIHD piloted a three-year project that has connected people with developmental disabilities with needed AT to support independent living. WIHD assessed individual needs, supplied appropriate AT, provided technical assistance, and evaluated the impact of the AT. This webinar will briefly touch upon the wide range of AT currently available and how it can be used to make a home accessible. Presenters from New York will detail how their cross-sector partnership was formed, what unique perspective each member brought to the team, and best practices and lessons learned from their pilot program. Finally, they will provide information on what funding and resources might be available to support increased access to AT. Get registered: https://lnkd.in/e9WFntei
