Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island
Welcome to the Traumatic Brain Injury Video Library
as presented by the Brain
Injury Association of Rhode Island.
The listed video programs are designed to inform the public about the latest treatments for Traumatic Brain Injuries
(TBI). These videos are considered valuable assets for TBI patients and discharge
planners, with information on all aspects of TBI.
Of special note to patients and the families of TBI victims are the videos about choosing a rehabilitation center and the symptoms of TBI from medical professionals.
Dating back from 1983, the Brain Injury Association
of Rhode Island has evolved into a highly functional entity dealing
with all aspects of brain injury. It started in a small 400 square
foot office space in Pawtucket RI, and has grown into a roomy 1,100
square foot resource center in Cranston RI. From several new computers
to hundreds of books, videos, and articles relating to brain injury,
the resource center is constantly growing.
