Training ABI-Acquired Brain Injury
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project promotes the European dimension in vocational training. At this mobility will participate 30 professionals and volunteers, who are working in the field of socio-professional integration of people with disabilities. 2 specialists will go to a job shadowing to “Human Profess” from Hungary and they will explore innovative ways in working with people with diseases caused by a brain injury, called ABI - Acquired Brain Injury. They will acquire knowledges and will be trained in a European spirit. The qualifications, knowledges, skill developments gained in this way will contribute to improve the participant’s personal CV-s, ensuring their mobility and active participation on the international labor market . Taking advantage of the knowledges gained at „Human Profess” organization from Hungary, we will have professional education and training, required in our work with people with brain injury. Currently we do not have specialists in this area and unfortunately, these disabled people can not be included in our development programs. The acquired brain injury is a hidden disability, because they have thinking and behavior problems, which are not easily recognizable. As a result of knowledges of ABI - Acquired Brain Injury training, participants will gain integrated skill development methods for people with ABI , knowledges about the influence of this disease in ABI person’s, their families and friends life and society in general. They will experience new methods and rehabilitation programs, knowledges about helping people to achieve their autonomy, new methods of rehabilitation and care, new methods of intervention such as: puppet therapy, snoozelen room, therapy with lights and shadows, creative visual therapy, s.o. Participants will be able to enhance personal skills, performing tasks to required standards, using professional knowledges, skills and aptitudes. The main objective of this project is to increase and train professionals for Alpha Transilvana Foundation, to be successfully used in the socio-professional integration of people with acquired brain injuries . The 30 participants in this training will improve and update their knowledges, practices and training methods, they will learn new innovative methods in this field and they will exchange experiences at international level. The foundation develops a partnership focused on common interest issues, develops a project that improves training systems, focusing on the development of innovation and best practice in social and professional inclusion of people with disabilities. The project’s impact is not limited only on the participants, but gives benefit for the local community, because the trained participants will use their gained knowledges in ABI person’s socio-professional integrating activities. We will transfer the ABI person’s innovative support package to the supported employment centers from the Central Region, so we will have also an important regional impact. Participants in the project are provided to develop their career by obtaining a transferable vocational qualification at European level. The short-term impact will be local / regional, while the long-term impact will be present at national / european level, affecting the socio -professional integration system . We will develop a study on the needs of ABI people, a qualitative research on their needs from Tg-Mures. We will elaborate the "Innovative approaches in working with people who have acquired brain trauma” guide. This guide from this project will represent a useful tool for professionals, but also for future practitioners, thrue its applicability, but also that it will present useful information on needs, policies and methods of ABI rehabilitation. We will also perform an evaluating report, based on the collected datas from partners and participants on the trainings.
