Rehabilitation for Severe Brain Injuries
During the recovery process, rehabilitation experts should be involved with the care and treatment of the brain injured person. Many rehabilitation for severe brain injuries programs use a multi-disciplinary team.
The multi-disciplinary team often includes the Physician, Neuropsychologist, Physical Therapist (PT), Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Pathologist and others.
Goals for recovery are made by the team based on experience and the patient’s ongoing deficits and abilities. The rehabilitation for severe brain injuries is cut short so much of the time. Recovery from severe brain injury can take years and maybe even a lifetime depending on the severity of the injury. Some times the rehabilitation for severe brain injury is cut short because of its cost. Insurance companies are always going to try to get by with the shortest amount of therapy because of the cost. Other severe brain injury survivors may not have insurance and no means to pay for the cost of rehabilitation.
