POSITIVE MATTERS, INC.

Positive Matters, Inc is a service charity and educational organization which helps those with traumatic brain injury and other disabilities increase independence in the community and improve their quality of life.

It provides education and resources about traumatic brain injury and living with disabilities.  It also provides funding for people suffering with traumatic brain injury and living with any disability for rehabilitation services who cannot afford to pay for those services.

Founded by Matthew Thomas, a traumatic brain injury survivor, and Mauro Zappaterra, MD, PhD, Positive Matters, Inc. educates about traumatic brain injury and funds innovative rehabilitation services to enhance the existing abilities of the disabled.

PUTTING ABILITY IN DISABILITY  (P.A.I.D.)

Founder Matthew Thomas believes that Positive Matters can transform anyone with disabilities by re-activating their ability to excel in ways thought impossible.  He strives to bring new energy to the word "ability" by leveraging a unique approach.  Positive Matters is an organization which has the disabled helping the disabled. Matthew uses his disability as evidence to other disabled individuals to never give up and always keep pushing forward with enthusiasm. The goal is to give clients an opportunity to once again see what was thought lost, but was simply just hidden from view.
