Excellent case discussion of influential factors for TBI survivors for life after injury. I suffered my injury when I was a young adult at the age of 21, which is a peak age of TBI, so I can relate to the hardships of survivors returning to work. I personally feel that there are some unmet needs that survivors may face with returning to work, such as transportation, and being given that initial opportunity to prove yourself. One fact that must not be overlooked, is that every injury is unique to that individual, and with it the recovery process. Speaking as a survivor who still is navigating the recovery path, I feel that both good family and self confidence can aid in recovery.
