Advocacy
The Brain Injury Association of America – Texas Division (BIAA) is the voice of brain injury in Austin. We tirelessly advocate for greater access to care for civilian and military populations, expanded brain injury research, adequate resources for our state’s brain injury programs and increased awareness of brain injury issues, among other priorities.
Over the years, there have been various public policy wins for the brain injury community in Texas, including legislation requiring insurance to pay for brain injury rehabilitation and the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services (CRS) program, a state program assisting Texans with important, necessary rehabilitation and treatment. We are extremely proud of the CRS program as it sets Texas’ treatment of brain injury apart from neighboring states.
