Assessment and Rehabilitation

Whether an individual is recovering from an acute brain injury in a hospital or a mild brain injury at home, assessment and rehabilitation can play a critical role in the recovery process. The rehabilitation process is different for everyone. Rehabilitation programs should be individualized. Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two injuries are exactly alike.

Rehabilitation channels the body’s natural healing abilities and the brain’s relearning processes so that an individual recovers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Rehabilitation also involves learning new ways to compensate for abilities that have permanently changed due to brain injury.
