Neurological Rehabilitation
Alpha Rehab offers a highly skilled multidisciplinary approach to neurologic injuries and conditions. Neurological rehabilitation under the care of an occupational therapist will consist of supporting and facilitating an individual to be as independent as possible in their daily life. For some this may involve focusing on improving reduced cognitive functions such as planning or memory, whereas for others it may be more focused on removing physical barriers to independence through well designed housing, assistive technology or equipment.
Intervention is always goal orientated and focused around maximising and enabling independence.
