How To Write An Impact Statement
[ Tuesday December 22nd 2015 at 9:01 am ]

In this video presentation I share how to write an impact statement. I go through several possible injury scenarios and give ideas of how you could express your injury. Also included are some ideas of how to overcome and increase your independence when possible. When I prepared this video I had the following uses in mind: 1. Disability pension application 2. Leave of absence from your employment 3. Help your employer know what accommodation is needed for your work station 4. Prepare for a trip 5. Help you think through areas in your life that need assistance 6. As a tool to present your needs to the medical community This is based on the web article I prepared: http://mypainmanagementtracker.net/how-to-write-an-impact-statement/ I've also prepared this form to help you express your disability to the medical community: http://mypainmanagementtracker.net/downloads/Functional_Abilities.pdf I hope this is of help either better improving your independence or managing your day to day life.
