Medical, nursing and therapy treatment plans are individualized and use evidence-based teaching strategies. We focus on activities of daily living, improved mobility and use of adaptive equipment helping to make patient’s homes and workplaces more accessible. We also provide vocational counseling that enables them to return to work or school, or embark on a new career. The program serves individuals from onset of injury through their lifetime.
