President
Liz Giordano
Chief Executive Officer
Dear Friends,
2013 was a particularly demanding year for organizations within the Community
Health and Human Services Field. Doing more with less has become an
integral part of our mission at Head Injury Association. Yet, we continue to
provide quality services to those individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain
injury (TBI).
Last year, the Head Injury Association was given the opportunity to expand its
service delivery system to those individuals who are
Intellectually/Developmentally Disabled (I/DD). Our New Horizons Program
was launched in the Summer of 2013 with an innovative customized program
serving High School Graduates with a diagnoses of Autism. In addition to this
expansion of the Hy Feinstein Clubhouse, Head Injury Association significantly
increased its residential-care program, with the opening of three new
condominiums within Suffolk County. Geography was no challenge for the
Head Injury Association! Having obtained approval from New York State, the
Head Injury Association began to serve TBI Survivors within the five boroughs.
With its first Case Manager, located in Brooklyn, the Head Injury Association
expanded its boarders to include bilingual family support groups in the Head
Trauma Unit at Bellevue Hospital.
It is only through the continued support of our friends, that Head Injury
Stuart
Gleiber
Association is able to touch
the lives
of individuals with Developmental
President
Disabilities.
Thank you for helping to make Head Injury Association a Bridge to Hope and
Healing.

A New Horizons For Autistic
Individuals
The New Horizons Day Habilitation Program is a specialized
program located within our state-of-the-art Day Center funded
through the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities
(OPWDD). It is designed to meet the needs of young adults
coming from school-based educational programs, with significant
intellectual disabilities and/or educational programs, with
significant intellectual disabilities and/or challenging behaviors;
including those with Autism, Epilepsy, and Cerebral Palsy.
Nurturing and supportive staff encourages family involvement at
every step throughout the transition process. New Horizons
provides programming that focuses on supporting the
development of continuing education, social skills,
communication, adaptive living skills and leisure activities. A
variety of specialty programs such as Art Therapy, Horticulture,
Music Appreciation, and Computer Technology are offered
through a highly structured schedule of activities. Behavioral
support and relaxation activities that promote wellness and
reduce anxiety are an integral part of the program.
At the Head Injury Association, our mission is to maximize
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Survivors’ potential by
providing the necessary residential and support programs
to help them achieve four valued outcomes:
Individualization, Independence, Integration and
Productivity.
We are committed to increasing public awareness of TBI
and its consequences, and as a result, offer innovative and
effective solutions to many of the problems facing head
injured survivors and their families.
In 2013 The Head Injury Association's Music as Therapy
Program was pleased to announce its first musical
performance...GREASE! This production featured some of
the most popular hits from the musical. Each participant
was excited, motivated and genuinely interested in
becoming actors and actresses. This was a great
opportunity to enhance their cognitive skills; which plays a
large role in performing a show. Reading, memorizing,
word association, counting and physical hand-eye
coordination are required for a successful show.
The 2013 Talent Show brought exceptionally talented individuals, into the limelight. Head Injury
Association provided a platform to showcase their extraordinary talent. We continue to encourage
each performer to pursue their passion and achieve their goals!
There is a strong bond between animals and people.
Animals are accepting, non-threatening and nonjudgmental; making it easier for our individuals to
open up. Our Pet therapy program helps them
increase focus, trust, teamwork, and attention. It also
helps them reduces depression, grief and isolation.
The Head Injury Association, in conjunction with the
Cinema Arts Centre, was pleased and proud to host
the 2013 screening Caris' Peace. A documentary
film of theatre and film actress, Caris Corfman and
how she persevered through her TBI.
Our 2013 Annual Fall Fun
Festival gives our individuals
the opportunity to be involved
with the community and to
obtain resources for
recreational and educational
activities.
The Horticulture and Art Therapy groups took a trip to
the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. In honor
of the celebration of spring, Earth Day, Arbor Day
which and the first day of spring are all in April. Many
blooming flowers, hydrangea and daffodils and
blossoming cherry blossom and magnolia trees, which
awakened the senses of the individuals attending the
trip. Each participant collected various petals, leaves,
roots, branches, and stones as part of our spring and
nature art collage.

By Robert S.
I sustained my TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) due to a motor
vehicle accident in which I wasn’t wearing a seat belt while
speeding. My car slid on black ice, which is frozen dew, or mist
on the road surface. Immediately after the accident, I was in a
coma for ten weeks. My leg bones were broken, and I fractured
three ribs. Once I recovered from that, I had permanent partial
paralysis and weakness on my right side. I used to be right
sided, but I have adapted to becoming a lefty. If I had been
wearing my seat belt during this unfortunate incident, I would
be in much better shape now. That doesn’t excuse the fact that
I was driving recklessly and speeding. Speeding is taking
tremendous risks with your life, and with the life of innocent
people. You should think twice before driving recklessly, and
should always wear a seat belt. If your enjoy driving recklessly,
like speeding or not following the laws of the road, perhaps you
should visit the ER, or facilities like our where you may find
others who have made the same mistake, or victims of the
recklessness of others. Knowing this information might give
knowledgeable people better information to improve their driving
skills, and learn to be more cautious on the road for your sake
and for the sake of others you may injure as a result from
reckless driving behavior. Remember you are not just driving for
you, you are driving for the protection, and safety of everyone on
the road. I mention this because I am a TBI Survivor and I lost
control driving over black ice, and without caution. Don’t
make the same mistakes I have made!
