Brain Injury & Concussion Recovery

Our Brain Injury and Concussion Recovery services provide occupational therapy support for individuals of all ages recovering from brain injuries. Whether the brain injury results from a concussion, stroke, infection, or trauma, our goal is to promote recovery, functional independence, and quality of life through evidence-based interventions tailored to each individual's needs.

​

We focus on the following areas of support:

​

• Cognitive Rehabilitation: Strategies to improve attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.

​

• Sensory Processing Support: Addressing sensory sensitivities and challenges that may arise following brain injury.

​

• Physical Coordination and Motor Skills: Enhancing balance, strength, coordination, and fine motor control.

​

• Emotional Regulation and Coping: Supporting emotional well-being through self-regulation strategies and stress management.

​

• Daily Functioning and Life Skills: Promoting a return to self-care, school tasks, and community participation. As a part of these services, we collaborate closely with schools and community activities to gradually return in a safe and confidence-building way

Understanding Pediatric Brain Injury

 

Brain injuries in children can result from various causes, including:

​

• Acquired Brain Injuries: Resulting from medical events such as strokes, infections, or lack of oxygen.

​

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Due to physical trauma like vehicle accidents or significant falls. This includes concussions; mild traumatic brain injuries often caused by falls or sports accidents.

​

Pediatric brain injuries can impact physical abilities, cognitive skills, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. Recovery is unique to each child and requires a multi-dimensional and collaborative approach.
