The practitioners in our service, specialist educators called conductors, work closely with participants enabling them to re-learn skills that have been lost or discover new ways of achieving them. Many of our participants speak of the increased confidence and self-assurance they gain from taking an active part in finding solutions to the problems they face in everyday living. This renewed confidence in their abilities enables them to lead more active and independent lives. You may have had a traumatic head injury or you may have just finished a period of intensive medical rehabilitation and be feeling alone and unsure of what the future may hold. Whatever stage you are at with the condition we can help you to make full use of your present abilities and build on them to improve your quality of life.
Conductors possess a detailed understanding of how head injuries affect everyday living.
Your personal aims will be set in discussion with the conductors. Conductors then work with you to find new and different ways of overcoming the problems you face in a range of personal and social situations which are of importance to you. Depending on your needs, attention is aimed at overcoming loss of mobility and control, sensory and communication difficulties as well as any behavioural and attention problems. Head injury, by its sudden nature, can have an enormous and immediate impact on family life. Advice and support can be given to help the whole family.
