Several recommendations made by BIAA during the legislative drafting process were incorporated into the bill. <br \/><br \/>BIAA encourages you to urge your Senator to sign on as a cosponsor of this important legislation.<br \/><br \/>The bill would require two pilot programs to be implemented through the Department of Veterans Affairs, improving the resources available to those caring for returning service members with TBI. <br \/><br \/>The first pilot program, which would provide for training, certification, and compensation for family caregiver personal attendants for veterans and members of the Armed Forces with TBI, is very similar to a provision in last year\u2019s Heroes At Home Act of 2007, which BIAA also strongly endorsed. <br \/><br \/>The second pilot program would leverage existing partnerships between Veterans Affairs facilities and the nation\u2019s premier universities, training graduate students to provide respite care for families caring for wounded warriors suffering from TBI. <br \/>To urge your Senator to become a cosponsor of S. 2921, click on the &#8216;Take Action&#8217; link in the upper right corner of this email.<br \/><br \/> The Brain Injury Association of Wisconsin and the Brain Injury Association of America support this legislation.<br \/><br \/>If you have trouble with the &#8220;Take Action&#8221; button at the top, please let BIAW know.
