About this title

Synopsis

This book details how medical and clinical teams that are comprehensive and interdisciplinary are able to effectively address the multiple difficulties that can result from an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). It is designed for interdisciplinary students in neuro-rehabilitation as well as beginning professionals in the field. Coverage describes the medical specialists that are integral members of a team and their specialized roles in assessment and treatment. It reviews some of the vital specialty areas that are often overlooked, such as neuro-optometry and vestibular rehabilitation. The book also examines key discipline areas, such as occupational and speech/language therapies, and describes the main behavioral difficulties exhibited by individuals with ABI, in addition to family stressors and long-term challenges following discharge from a neuro-rehabilitation program.
