Academic Therapy Academic therapists work with patients toward regaining skills in reading, mathematics, written expression and content area studies. A serious illness or injury often leaves the patient and the family members with questions, concerns and worries about how life will be after leaving Gaylord. The psychology department provides psychodiagnostic evaluation, individual and group psychotherapy, and couples, family and sex counseling. Our psychologists are trained to counsel you with depression, anxiety and grief. Special procedures, neuropsychological assessment, relaxation, assertiveness training and behavioral methods of pain control are used where indicated.
Academic therapy is also available.
If you have a chronic respiratory condition, you will take part in a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program. Here, you will undergo general reconditioning and mobilization programs and will participate in therapy to help you take part in activities of daily living without undue strain. Respiratory therapists and technicians join with physicians, nurses and other staff to provide 24-hour care for this program. Gaylord's pulmonary rehabilitation program also includes sleep services to study sleep-related disorders that sometimes underlie medical problems. Our specially trained care managers ensure that you enter Gaylord at the most appropriate level of care.
