Brain
injury rehabilitation is a specialty. Though brain injury shares
characteristics with other disabling conditions it is unique because
of the interplay of the various impairments that often follow brain
injury, in particular, the effect of cognitive impairment on
rehabilitation efforts.
Cognitive impairment often includes problems with attention,
orientation, mood regulation, thinking, self-awareness, memory,
language, visual perception, and communication and tends to reduce
the individual’s ability to actively participate in treatment.
These special problems require special knowledge and skills.
Our clinical and
support staff specializes in this area of treatment.
Brain injury rehabilitation takes time and expertise. Brain injury
is a life long disorder.
