The Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Directory (TBIRD) is a product of the Rehabilitation Research Center (RRC) at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC). The RRC compiles local and national brain injury resource information for dissemination to any individual that requests it. The TBIRD's focus is on resources available in the San Francisco Bay Area, but many of the resources are regional and/or national. A product of the compilation is this online book. We hope that this book is a useful tool. The sixth edition of the TBIRD is being funded by a grant from the Firedoll Foundation.

There are print versions ($20.00) as well as a CD version ($10.00) of the TBIRD available. Email lois.roberts@hhs.co.santa-clara.ca.us for more information.
