Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program A Medicaid Waiver program that employs the principles of person-centered care and supported living CONNECTICUT BRAIN INJURY WAIVER PROGRAM ( ABI WAIVER PROGRAM ) APPLY ONLINE FOR BENEFITS The MEDICAID Acquired Brain Injury Waiver Program “ABI Waiver Program” What is the ABI Waiver Program and what does it do? The ABI Waiver Program provides a variety of long-lasting in-home and community-based recovery services for brain-injured survivors, at no cost to them. There are many services included within the program. The two main services are one on one daily staffing services. The first staffing service is called I.L.S.T. services or Independent Living Skills Training . This is a better quality of knowledgeable service. The staff member attends doctor and therapy sessions and then implements the prescribed therapies at home and in the community. They help to teach everyday living skills and are paid at a higher rate than all other services. The higher pay rate also helps to promote more consistent staffing coverage. It is best to start a program with the greatest amount of staffing hours being ILST services and then as a survivor becomes more independent slowly change over to companion staffing services. Ask for a lot of the best service first. Many families discover that they should have asked or pushed for more and find it very difficult to achieve more ILST hours. They also discover that if they reduce these staffing hours it is rarely given back. The second staffing service is called Companion Services. A companion is more of a friend that reminds and helps with the basic functions of daily living. They do not work with therapists or teach living skills. This service is paid at a much lower rate and families find it very hard to keep quality consistent staffing. There are many other services that can be applied for within the application. We suggest applying for all services and then removing services as needed. Contact us with any questions that you may have, we can help you with the application process.

CONNECTICUT -ABI RESOURCES take directives from the CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. Many brain injury survivors suffer from memory challenges and may benefi ¿Qué es un terapeuta cognitivo conductual de TCC? Los miembros del equipo de ABI RESOURCES siguen las directivas de los terapeutas cognitivo-conductuales de CBT. Muchos sobrevivientes de lesiones cerebrales sufren problemas de memoria y pueden beneficiarse si un miembro del equipo los acompaña durante las sesiones de TCC. El miembro del equipo puede abordar inquietudes y comportamientos actuales y ayudar a implementar las directivas de la TCC. La terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) es una forma de psicoterapia que trata problemas y aumenta la felicidad modificando emociones, comportamientos y pensamientos disfuncionales. La TCC se centra en soluciones, animando a los pacientes a desafiar las cogniciones distorsionadas y cambiar patrones de comportamiento destructivos. La TCC se centra en el desarrollo de estrategias personales de afrontamiento que apuntan a resolver problemas actuales y cambiar patrones inútiles en las cogniciones (por ejemplo, pensamientos, creencias y actitudes), conductas y regulación emocional. La TCC es una forma de terapia "centrada en el problema" y "orientada a la acción". El papel del terapeuta es ayudar al cliente a encontrar y practicar estrategias efectivas para abordar los objetivos identificados y disminuir los síntomas del trastorno. La TCC se basa en la creencia de que las distorsiones del pensamiento y las conductas desadaptativas desempeñan un papel en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de los trastornos psicológicos y que los síntomas y la angustia asociada pueden reducirse enseñando nuevas habilidades de procesamiento de información y mecanismos de afrontamiento. http://www.abct.org/Home/ Servicios de atención médica domiciliaria de Connecticut
