Organizational Listing: $250 per year. Click to see some examples of an organizational listings: Organizational listing example #1 Organizational listing example #2 (An organizational listing includes a complimentary individual listing. If you wish to add additional individual members associated with an organizational listing, the cost per individual is only $50 per person!)
Why list as an organization AND an individual? The simple answer is: double the exposure for the same cost. Here is an example: a neuropsychologist has a practice with 3 neuropsychologists in the practice, himself included. He can list the practice for $250, and get himself listed for no additional cost. For another $100, he can get the other 2 neuropsychologists listed in the individual listings. The practice, in essence, gets 4 listings for $350! Why do we offer this? We are trying to make it as easy as possible for the end user to find the services they need. We know some people will search for specific professionals, like neuropsychologists, while others will look for organizations.
Targeted to a specific audience (not just a list of all types of rehab programs and professionals).
We present the site as a resource to find people, not just information about brain or spinal cord injury. People coming to the site will be looking for resources.
Dedicated outreach to people that may need the service. We intend to send, on a regular basis, information about this site to people that will use this site as a resource: Case Managers, Discharge Planners, Social Workers, and State and Local Chapters of the Brain Injury Association and Spinal Cord Injury Association.
You can control your listing. You can add or change your information at any time on the site.
Amount of information you can include in a listing is not limited. Unlike "hard copy" directories that limit the information you can list, this listing allows you to be more descriptive.
If you want more in-depth information about how these benefits can affect you, the professional, read on....
What do these Features mean to you, the professional? These features allow you, the professional, to reach out to people that are just learning about neurotrauma. People who have sustained some type of neurotrauma want to know two basic things: What will happen next? and Where can I go for help?
There are many terrific websites that offer information and support for people with brain or spinal cord injury and their families. We link with many of them. They are a very important part of the rehabilitation process. Understanding this type of injury is important in being able to deal with many of the consequences. There are also many terrific articles on brain and spinal cord injury, both online and in print.
The trouble with answering the first question: the many different consequences that can occur following neurotrauma. The best that can be done at present is not to answer the question "what will happen", but "what can happen". This is an improvement, but it does not erase the doubt and stress the person with a brain or spinal cord injury faces. This ambiguity makes the answer to question #2 that much more important.
If you can't predict exactly what will happen, the support and expertise of a professional is that much more important. What is the roadblock to answering question #2? Where does one go to find the professionals? The answer is www.neure.com.
We have done extensive research on what resources are out there, and how people look for resources. With a few local exceptions, there is no place online where a person can find professionals with experience in brain or spinal cord injury. And there is NO place other than NEURE where a person can find a listing of individual professionals and organizations of all types with experience in brain or spinal cord injury. We are the ONLY website offering this service.
How can this be? The answer is simple and sobering. Neurotrauma (brain or spinal cord injury) is a silent epidemic. The CDC reports that there are 5.3 million people living in the US with a disability as a result of a traumatic brain injury. If you were to add acquired brain injury (from stroke, anoxic injury, etc.) that total would be well over 6.5 million people. That's more than the number of people with AIDS and breast cancer combined.
Our mission is simple. We want to be the "bridge". We understand the seriousness of brain injury. We understand the need to connect people who need help with those professionals that can offer help. We also have tremendous respect for the professionals in the field. That is why we work hard to offer superior customer service, and keep our costs lower than anyone else.
