Brain injury recovery aids help reclaim lost freedoms

Brain injury is a thief. Whether caused by stroke, cerebral aneurysm, brain tumor, anoxia, apoxia, or other disease or trauma, it steals freedom from all it touches. 

However freedoms lost to brain injury can be regained, at least in part. You can do it, we can help - with information, support, and (B Independent's specialty) assistive products.

B Independent began as a website created by and for brain injury survivors and their caregivers.  Today most of our customers have other disabilities, or they are elderly, or they are fit and seeking to remain so.

Yet we remain dedicated to those struggling with the devastation of brain injury.  Because we are on the same journey, we understand and care.

"A Helmet Away from Heaven"

Helmets can reduce the risk of brain injury in a bike accident by up to 88% - yet fewer than half of kids ages 5 to 14 wear them. 

Here is a mother's poem for her daughter.  Read it aloud, Dr. Seuss style:

You are smart

You are pretty

To squish your brain

Would be a pity.

Ease your family's sense of dread

Put a helmet on your head.

by Margaret Hamilton
