( Conserv atorship ) ​ What is a Conse rvator? ​ A conservator is a person appointed by the Probate Court to oversee the financial or personal affairs of an adult. In an involuntary conservatorship, a conservator is appointed only if the court determines that the individual is unable to c are for him or herself or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator at the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs without making finding that the individual is incapable. ​ There are two kinds of conservators. ​ A conservator of the person supervises personal affairs and ensures that the person's basic n eeds, including food, shelter, clothing, and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for the property, managing bank accounts, and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income. ​ Often, the Probate Court will appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator. Sometimes the court will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. The court tries to determine whom the conserved person prefers but, if a conflict exists, may appoint an uninterested party. ​ ​

¿Qué debo hacer si ocurre una conmoción cerebral? ​ Las personas con una conmoción cerebral deben ser atendidas por un profesional de la salud. Si cree que usted o alguien que conoce tiene una conmoción cerebral, comuníquese con su profesional de la salud. Su profesional de la salud puede evaluar su conmoción cerebral y determinar si necesita ser remitido a un neurólogo, neuropsicólogo, neurocirujano o especialista en rehabilitación (como un logopeda) para recibir atención especializada. Obtener ayuda de especialistas capacitados poco después de la lesión puede mejorar la recuperación. Consulte Signos y síntomas para conocer los signos y síntomas comunes que puede experimentar y para conocer las señales de peligro y cuándo buscar atención médica inmediata. Qué esperar cuando consulta a un profesional de la salud ​ Si bien la mayoría de las personas son atendidas en un departamento de emergencias o en un consultorio médico, algunas deben pasar la noche en el hospital. Su profesional de la salud puede realizar una exploración de su cerebro (como una tomografía computarizada) u otras pruebas. Es posible que sean necesarias pruebas adicionales, como pruebas de aprendizaje, concentración de memoria y resolución de problemas. Estas pruebas se denominan pruebas "neuropsicológicas" o "neurocognitivas" y pueden ayudar a su profesional de la salud a identificar los efectos de una conmoción cerebral. Incluso si la conmoción cerebral no aparece en estas pruebas, es posible que usted todavía tenga una conmoción cerebral. ​ Su profesional de atención médica lo enviará a casa con instrucciones importantes a seguir. Asegúrese de seguir cuidadosamente todas las instrucciones de su profesional de la salud. ​ Si está tomando medicamentos (recetados, de venta libre o “remedios naturales”) o si bebe alcohol o consume drogas ilícitas, informe a su profesional de atención médica. Además, informe a su profesional de la salud si está tomando anticoagulantes (medicamentos anticoagulantes), como Coumadin y aspirina, ya que pueden aumentar las posibilidades de complicaciones. Consulte Cómo mejorar para obtener consejos que le ayudarán a recuperarse después de una conmoción cerebral. ​ ​

SUEÑO Y TBI El sueño es importante para la recuperación de una lesión cerebral porque permite que el cerebro descanse y se recupere. Durante el sueño, el cerebro es capaz de reparar y regenerar células, además de consolidar recuerdos y procesar nueva información. ​ La falta de sueño puede tener un impacto negativo en la función cerebral y dificultar la recuperación de una lesión cerebral. La falta de sueño puede afectar la función cognitiva, como la memoria, la atención y la capacidad de resolución de problemas, y también puede afectar el estado de ánimo y la regulación emocional. ​ Además, dormir es importante para la salud y el bienestar general del cuerpo. Ayuda a regular el sistema inmunológico, mantener la salud física y apoyar el crecimiento y desarrollo adecuados. ​ Por lo tanto, es importante que las personas con una lesión cerebral den prioridad a dormir lo suficiente para apoyar su proceso de recuperación. Esto puede implicar establecer una rutina de sueño constante, crear un ambiente cómodo para dormir y buscar tratamiento médico para cualquier problema relacionado con el sueño. ¿Tiene problemas para conciliar el sueño por la noche? ¿O dificultad para permanecer dormido durante la noche? Puede resultar complicado saber cuándo buscar ayuda o cuándo es posible que se tenga un trastorno del sueño que requiera tratamiento. Lea las preguntas de evaluación del sueño a continuación para determinar si visitar a un especialista en sueño es su mejor opción. ¿Tienes dolores de cabeza matutinos? ¿No puedes irte a dormir y quedarte dormido por la noche? ¿Le han dicho que ronca constantemente o que ocasionalmente deja de respirar mientras duerme? ¿Tiene problemas para concentrarse o quedarse dormido cuando normalmente debería estar despierto y alerta? ¿Experimenta una sensación de "escalofrío o hormigueo" en las piernas o los brazos mientras está despierto o en reposo? Si respondió "sí" a cualquiera de estas preguntas, hable con su proveedor de atención primaria para recibir una evaluación inicial del sueño. ​ ​

TENGO UNA DAÑO CEREBRAL ENCONTRAR TRABAJO CUANDO SE TIENE UNA DAÑO CEREBRAL. ​ Having a job provides us with feelings of self-worth, responsibility and independence. It nurtures our sense of accomplishment. ​ Common Challenges . ​Asking for accommodations Over-Cautious employers Mixed or very short working schedules Making money and loosing essential support services Bringing your personal assistant Maintaining concentration and attention. Quick or extreme fatigue Speech Memory loss Social relationships Emotional Behavioral Physical abilities Limited vision ​ Assessing Your Abilities and Skills. Think about factors in the workplace that will negatively affect your condition. Some conditions may make you sensitive to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes or certain substances in the workplace. For example, you may have respiratory issues that are aggravated by humidity in the air or dust and fumes. Or you may have hearing issues that are irritated by noise or vibrations from moving machinery. You may also have a discomfort working at heights or with certain odors. Identifying your comfort levels with these factors will ensure you only pursue work positions that will suit your condition and not harm you in any way. ​ ​ Use a Variety of Job-Seeking Techniques Personal contacts Classified ads Campus job-placement services Job-placement assistance through temp agencies Disability advocacy or support groups Vocational rehabilitation agencies Take advantage of the Internet When you apply for a position, FOCUS on your qualifications and abilities. ​ ​ Do Your Homework First. Research the company you're applying to. Check with disability advocacy groups to see if the company has a good reputation for hiring, training and promoting workers with disabilities. Find out their strengths and weaknesses. Many corporations' Web sites provide lots of information Know how your background and experience fit with the company. Be prepared to discuss why your strengths. Being familiar with the company, shows you're motivated to work for them. ​ ​ Know What Technologies Can Help You Work Effectively Your skills may be maximized through assistive technology. Speech recognition software StickyKeys Auto-correct, for instance Adjusting a monitor's resolution can make big difference when reading small print easier for people with limited vision. ​ Decide When to Disclose Your Disability Even though federal law states you aren't required to reveal your disability, unless it relates to completing essential job functions, consider being open on this subject. If you volunteer this information, the employer may see you as a strong and confident person. Depending on the circumstances, you could describe your limitations in a resume, cover letter, or job application. If you need a special schedule make this clear on your application, employers dislike being mislead. Identify your physical abilities. Consider how your condition affects your ability to do certain work-related activities like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. ​ Make the Interview Easy for the Employer If you are bringing an interpreter, wheelchair, guide dog, etc. notify your interviewers so they can prepare in advance. As needed, inquire about accessible entrances to the building and the best route once inside to get to your interview. ​ Role-Play If your disability makes you do certain tasks differently, are you comfortable explaining how you will perform the job? Try role-playing the situation with a trusted friend, team member or family member. Practice explaining how you will perform your job and what accommodations, if any, you need. Describe how the company would benefit from hiring you. ​ Dress Appropriately Unless specifically encouraged to dress casually, follow the universal code about what to wear to an interview: Dress business casual. For people with limited mobility, the process of dressing for a job interview can be quite a challenge, but it's worth it. ​ Bring Samples of Your Work and Extra Resumes A clean, printed resume. Ask friends and family to write short references about your abilities. Your employer may want to know how well you maintain concentration and attention in a workplace, and your ability to understand, remember, and carry out instructions. Samples allow you to illustrate your skills with specific examples. ​ Anticipate and Address Potential Concerns Directly You know some people have fears and prejudices about workers with disabilities, even when they don't express these attitudes directly. If you want the job, you must allay these concerns. Using examples from your own life or prior work experience, discuss how you accomplish activities that challenge you, like getting around the workplace, communicating with others, using equipment and so forth. ​ Handle Illegal Interview Questions with Grace The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made it illegal for employers to ask about medical history during an interview. If you are asked inappropriate question, respond diplomatically. Try: "Nothing in my personal life will keep me from doing an outstanding job in this position." This answer should satisfy a prospective employer's concerns about your ability to get the job done. ​ Start identifying your career path Explore your work preferences and understand your strengths in under two minutes.
