ABI Neurobehavioural Rehabilitation Service
A Joint venture of the Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney and the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (UK). This is an exciting new venture that will bring world-class, effective neurobehavioural rehabilitation to adults with an acquired brain injury.
About the Service
Our new Service will commence in late February 2010.
It will provide:
- Integrated therapies with a focus on mobility, cognition, communication, behaviour change, and social/relationships.
- The therapies are focused on increasing clients’ independence in the next stage of their supported accommodation
- Client determined goals are aimed at improvements for both the client themselves and their interaction with the community
- The service model will use both professional and non-professional staff.
- Clinical staff (clinical psychologist; occupational therapist; nursing; speech pathologist; physiotherapist) will assess clients, develop intervention strategies and instruct direct support staff. They will be constantly monitoring client progress in all activities and will be in a position to rapidly modify interventions.
- Direct support staff, who will have non-clinical backgrounds, will implement activities with clients.
Service Users
The Neurobehavioural model of service has been developed to provide rehabilitation to clients with an acquired brain injury. Clients who have an associated complex health issue, behavioural issue, or mental health issue are also accepted into the service.
