July 2022–June 2023

Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital's Outpatient Brain Injury Program is a progressive outpatient rehabilitation program for individuals with neurological injuries or illnesses. The program is based upon the philosophy that rehabilitation must take into account the environment in which the patient needs to function.

Since neurological damage can lead to permanent impairments, which often lead to problems interacting at home, work or school, we treat clients in real-life environments. Using this treatment method, everyday difficulties a person with a brain injury will encounter are identified and interventions or strategies are developed and implemented to overcome those problems.
