In the world of work they're fighting a losing battle. Brain injury is a relatively new concept in the work world, and employees who have suffered brain injuries are encountering problems. Those who have suffered brain injuries often have hidden disabilities. And when such disabilities are present, employers cannot understand why they cannot perform specific job functions. Since then, finding a job for brain injury survivors has become exceedingly difficult.
Many organizations evaluate potential employees based on disability alone.
And since brain injuries are so complex, a myriad of limitations often result. If a brain injured individual is hired, employers often assess them based on their disability.

Little did he know that taking a job would be another one.
