About the
IBIA
The International Brain Injury Association (IBIA) is dedicated
to the development and support of multidisciplinary medical and clinical
professionals, advocates, policy makers, consumers and others who work
to improve outcomes and opportunities for persons with brain injury.
Founded in 1993, the IBIA was created in response to the growing
demand from professionals and advocates throughout the world for collaboration
and more information on all aspects of brain injury, from prevention to
long-term care issues.
In 1998, the International Association for the Study of Brain Injury,
a professional association, merged with the IBIA.
The IBIA works to develop positive relations and interactions between
individuals, families, groups, organizations, institutions, diverse cultures
and nations. The IBIA strives to provide international leadership for
creative solutions to the issues associated with brain injury.
