Rehabilitation
We provide services both for service users requiring intensive post-acute rehabilitation who are expected to re-integrate into the community within six months, and also for more seriously injured service users who require longer-term rehabilitation.
Services are tailored to meet individual needs. Our philosophy is that all people with a brain injury have the potential to progress, no matter how severe their injury or how long ago it ocurred.
We aim to promote the independence and self-esteem of our service users within the framework of the neurobehavioural model. Individual rehabilitation programmes focus on structured learning programmes, personal and domestic activities of daily living, use of leisure time, community access skills, behavioural management techniques, social skills training and vocational training and support.
