Re-entering the Work Place

People with relatively mild brain injuries can experience significant difficulty re-entering the community because their limitations may be subtle and not readily obvious to others, or even to themselves. These effects pose barriers to employment -- an important kind of reintegration -- because of the interpersonal requirements of most workplaces. The inability to remember a particular request, read nonverbal cues or quickly respond to a question can make the difference between success and failure in a job -- unless the environment accommodates the individual worker's needs.
