Report
At Swanson & Associates, the rehabilitation program for traumatic brain injuries is evidence based and utilizes a functional approach. Team members have extensive knowledge of, and experience with severe, moderate and mild traumatic brain injury. Our approach recognizes the importance of learning compensatory techniques for functional tasks, but also promotes remediation of cognitive skills.
Chronic pain
Report

Our multidisciplinary team of health professionals each address components of need while working closely together. The need for a high level of communication between team members is recognized and supported.
Orthopaedic
Report
Following a serious orthopaedic injury, a referral for an occupational therapy assessment and assistance with discharge planning is frequently sought. The occupational therapist may see the client in the hospital to determine recommendations from the inpatient team and to determine the client's functional status in order to facilitate the provision of safety, mobility and accessibility equipment for the home.
Amputations

Following an amputation, mobility and accessibility are primary issues. Attendant care assessments are provided as additional support is often required particularly in the initial post hospitalization period prior to dispensing of a permanent prosthesis.
