What is Neurological Rehabilitation?
Neurological rehabilitation is a range of interventions designed to help individuals adjust to change and maximise their potential following an illness, injury or diagnosis that affects the function of the brain or central nervous system.
Community neurological rehabilitation may take place at home, work, in education or in community settings, depending on the individual’s needs.
Neurological rehabilitation can involve a range of healthcare professionals. Where an individual has complex needs, several disciplines may work together as part of a multi-disciplinary team, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology, and speech and language therapy.
These neuro rehab professionals support different aspects of recovery, helping individuals build independence, improve well-being and participate more fully in everyday life. As needs change or become less complex, an individual may work with just one professional who is best placed to provide the support they need.
