As parents of a severely brain-injured child, we,
|
||
<a href="http://www.members.aon.at/gegi">Ilse and Francis Montocchio</a>, the founders of the International
|
||
Jairus Society, have discovered through personal experience with home treatment
|
||
programs that brain injury is treatable, and that the single most important aspect
|
||
of life with a brain-injured person in the family is knowing:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>WHAT TO DO</li>
|
||
<li>DOING IT</li>
|
||
<li>SEEING RESULTS – this amounts to HOPE.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>We have also discovered that in order to DO something about a brain injury, the best
|
||
people to do this are the parents, and when this is not possible, the next best person
|
||
is a close relative. This means that Mum or Dad or Sister or Aunt (sometimes there is
|
||
only Mum or Dad or Sister alone!) stops or cuts down on working and dedicates his
|
||
or her time to the home treatment program.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The two treatment programs currently recognised by the International Jairus Society are:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><a href="http://www.iahp.org">The Intensive Treatment Program at the Institutes for Achievement of Human Potential,
|
||
Philadelphia, USA.</a></li>
|
||
<li><a href="http://www.abrbelgium.com">Advanced Biomechanical Rehabilitation, based in Beringen,
|
||
Belgium.</a></li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p>Families on the Intensive Treatment Program at the <a href="http://www.iahp.org">IAHP</a>

need to travel to Philadelphia twice a year, and those doing <a href="http://www.abrbelgium.com">ABR</a>
|
||
need to travel to Beringen, Canada or Singapore, depending on the proximity of the
|
||
<a href="http://www.abrbelgium.com">ABR Centre</a>, up to five times a year. The costs involved include professional fees, airfares, accommodation,
|
||
board, equipment and helpers who need to travel with the family.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The double load of a reduced family income added to the costs of travelling and treatment programs
|
||
results in an enormous financial burden on most families.</p>

<p>The International Jairus Society was founded to help support an increasing number of families with
|
||
brain-injured children and adults who are involved in home treatment programs, and is concerned with
|
||
two main activities:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> Fund-Raising for the purposes of covering the costs of this treatment which are hardly ever covered
|
||
by mainstream medical insurance policies.</li>
|
||
<li>Sharing of information and experiences on home treatment of brain-injured children and adults to interested parties</li>
|
||
</ol>
