By Dedrick:
It costs the organization money for a member to attend Brain Injury Network… but the member pays $0! Why is this? Well in 2020 BIN received a grant to help the clubhouse so that members wouldn’t have to pay to be members! Before the grant BIN members had to pay dues for membership. BIN does still depend on donations for help!
I choose to give back to BIN by donating once a month. It feels good to help the clubhouse that helps me! You too can help us by donating monthly.

BindFW Members had such a good time with Olive Comfort Dog yesterday! Having comfort dogs is always such a treat for not only BindFW but they also visit Bind Plano as well. We have gotten visits from Phoebe Comfort Dog , Pax Comfort Dog , Olive, and Triton Comfort Dog in Plano. Comfort dogs are a great resource to people going through hard and difficult challenges. The comfort dogs go to places where people need them most, Olive recently went to Kerrville to visit with all the flood recovery. We appreciate the love that the dogs give to our members and staff. 🧡

New bindwaves Episode Alert! 🚨
"The Blood Brain Barrier Conundrum" with Dr. Michael Canney from Carthera

In today’s episode, Dr. Canney walks us through how they developed a revolutionary method to deliver therapeutics to the brain utilizing an ultrasound system. Join us as Dr. Canney eloquently discusses the history of this treatment, Phase 1 and Phase 2 results, and their hopes for the Phase 3 trial.

Brain Injury Network receives many members who have been diagnosed with a variety of traumatic and acquired brain injuries on a yearly basis. The clubhouse provides support for members through professional and personal development, networking opportunities, and a sense of belonging to a broader community. Here at BIND, we are met us where we are in our recovery journey.

We recognize that most of our members have some type of disability related to their brain injury. Some brain injuries can result in severe disabilities, while others can lead to mild disabilities such as changes in personality. BIND helps its members with adjusting to their disabilities, advocating for themselves and others with brain injuries. You can help BIND members as well!

By David R:
Digital Signal Processing was pioneered at NASA for the Apollo 11 lunar landings. This technology is now used in a broad range of earthbound medical and diagnostic tools, including advanced body imaging techniques known as CT, CAT Scan, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
BIN Members are all too familiar with these imaging procedures. We celebrate these tools and are truly grateful that they exist! Today, technology from Apollo 11 can monitor our brain health going forward.

On day three of the Clubhouse Texas Summit, members and staff shared how the BIND clubhouse empowers members through advocacy, highlighting our recent appearance at the DART Board's public hearing.

Scroll through and see what each member's favorite part of the summit was!

Thank you San Antonio Clubhouse and Form Communities for another great Clubhouse Texas Summit! We can't wait to share everything we learned with our fellow members!

This is the 35th Anniversary of the passage of the American of Disability Act. That was officially signed into law on this day in 1990. It makes the whole US have to recognise disabilities required by law.

Jeff is a member of BIND who uses a walker due to ataxia and tremors. Jeff stated that before the passage of the ADA, he felt that there was discrimination of his ability to use assistive devices such as a wheelchair to complete activities of daily living. This negative stigma from his peers has been reduced since the passage of the ADA, and now he can communicate confidently with others about his usage of walking aids.

Chris, another member of BIN who is completely blind, says the crosswalks before the passage of the ADA were significantly more dangerous because he would have to listen for the sound of a car approaching to know when it was safe to cross the street. Now, due to the ADA regulations enforced on crosswalks, the beeping sound helps him safely move across the street.

The ADA is a necessary law that significantly improves the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Without this, our communities would only be accessible to a small percentage of people, making it impossible to receive the same opportunities as people without disabilities.
