Assessment
Most clients will have a cognitive assessment to look at how their memory, speed of thinking and ability to plan and organise have been affected by their brain injury. All clients will also be seen by an Occupational Therapist who will do a variety of assessments depending on a client’s goals and stated difficulties. Clients with speech and language difficulties or physical problems will also be seen by the relevant professionals for assessment.
Programme
Clients will be allocated a keyworker, who will meet with them and their family, to set rehabilitation goals and plan their programme. Review meetings will be arranged to discuss progress.
