The mission of The Brain Injury Association of Texas is to improve the quality of life for persons with brain injuries and their families. The organization arose from the mutual frustration and sense of helplessness experienced by families in their search for appropriate facilities and support to return loved ones who had sustained brain injuries to maximum functioning potential. We were organized in 1982 as the Texas Head Injury Foundation by a group of family members and health care professionals in an effort to meet the needs of the survivors of brain injury.
Disabilities experienced by people with brain injuries vary widely.
Commonly experienced problems include those of decreased mobility, decreased dexterity, memory problems, changes in sight or hearing, changes in cognitive thought processes, as well as many others. Funds to accomplish these tasks come from individuals, business and industry, donations, and grants. Located at 223 West Las Colinas Boulevard, The Marriott of Las Colinas is situated on the canals of Las Colinas, where guests will enjoy meeting friends for dinner or conversation on the beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Carolyn. The entire second floor conference area will be dedicated to The Brain Injury Association of Texas conference. All rooms have a beautiful view with first-class room accommodations.
