Easter Seals is launching a pilot project to help veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan with mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury.
At the onset of the project, three affiliates, with funding from the Ludy Family Foundation, will provide cognitive rehabilitation through the use of Posit Science's Brain Fitness Program, a non-invasive computer-based training program that has demonstrated significant improvement in memory, communication and clarity of thinking in studies with older adults. This project is evaluating the program's efficacy for use in individuals with TBI.
Veterans and their families are encouraged to call toll-free, (866) 423-4981, or e-mail veterans@easterseals.com to participate in this 14-week pilot project. The program is offered at no charge to participants.
