ABIRP offers information, services and support to individuals with acquired brain injury, their families and any other interested persons who reside in the Barren River Area Development District (BRADD). The Department of Communication Disorders at WKU directs the activities of the program with the assistance of members from the community.

The program's mission is to provide individuals in the BRADD area who have suffered an acquired brain injury with access to university facilities and programs. These activities may include but are not exclusive to, recreation and academic opportunities.
