Occupational therapy plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation journey for both youth and adults who have experienced acquired or traumatic brain injuries. Our evidence-based approach addresses the complex and varied functional challenges that arise following brain injury, supporting recovery and maximizing independence across all life domains.

 

Our Specialized Brain Injury Protocol

We have developed a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment and treatment protocol specifically designed for individuals with brain injuries aged 7 years and older. This protocol systematically addresses the unique cognitive, physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by individuals across different developmental stages following brain injury.

 

Assessment Approaches

Our brain injury rehabilitation process begins with thorough functional evaluations that may include:

• Cognitive-functional assessments measuring attention, memory, executive functioning, and information processing

• Activities of daily living evaluations to identify challenges in self-care and independence

• Visual-perceptual screening to assess spatial awareness and visual processing

• Motor skills assessment examining coordination, balance, and physical capabilities

• Community reintegration readiness evaluation for school, work, and social participation

• Environmental assessment identifying needed modifications in home, school, or workplace

• Psychosocial impact measurement to address emotional regulation and social functioning

 

Intervention Strategies

Our occupational therapy interventions for brain injury recovery include:

• Cognitive rehabilitation with strategies to improve memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive function

• Functional skill retraining for self-care, home management, and community living

• Assistive technology implementation to compensate for persistent cognitive challenges

• Visual and perceptual retraining to address spatial awareness and processing deficits

• Return-to-school support with classroom accommodations and learning strategies

• Vocational rehabilitation for successful workplace reintegration

• Sensory regulation techniques for managing overstimulation and sensory changes

• Energy conservation and fatigue management strategies for optimal daily functioning

• Social skills training to rebuild relationships and community connections

• Environmental adaptations minimizing barriers to independence

• Caregiver training providing education on effective support techniques

 

Our specialized protocol is individually tailored to address each client's unique injury profile, life stage, and personal goals, creating a rehabilitation pathway that evolves with their recovery journey and supports meaningful participation in all aspects of life.
