Abstract
Tills article examines key federal laws that play an important role in the vocational rehabilitation of persons with traumatic brain Injury. The Title I Vocational Rehabilitation Program under the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992 is the most significant resource available to assist persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) to return to employment and independent living. Although the amendments encompass policy changes relevant for all persons seeking access to the system, the provisions addressing rehabilitation technology and supported employment services are particularly important for individuals with brain injury. Long-term support services, funding issues, and suggested future directions in the research and public policy arenas are also discussed.Keywords
