“My introduction to BIAN in 2006 has been of great benefit to me (and I hope to BIAN as well) as I realized I was not alone or isolated due to my ABI. I realized that there was still an opportunity to contribute in many ways and that through BIAN and related associations I was well supported. I was exposed to persons with similar issues and in my regular meetings and associations with all aspects of ABI support I felt I was able to overcome a lot of the pitfalls associated with ABI. BIAN staff and ABI associates made my ABI more tolerable and assisted me in getting back on my feet....my hat is off to you!."
