Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Brain injury rehabilitation is for patients with brain injuries resulting from surgery, tumors or trauma. This complete, structured program includes group and individual therapies to address communication, physical deficits, cognitive functioning and self-management skills. Physical and occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists help patients to:

  • Enhance communication skills
  • Use appropriate social skills
  • Increase physical skills and performance
  • Combine compensatory techniques and daily living performance skills
  • Increase independence at home, in the community and at work
  • Return to work, if appropriate
For appointments, a doctor's written prescription is needed and may be sent by fax or mail. Prior authorization by the patient's health plan or insurance carrier may also be needed. Patients will be called to arrange an initial evaluation within 24 hours of receiving the prescription.
