We are highly experienced clinicians who believe that recovery from stroke or brain injury takes time. We are here for you and your family member for the long-term - with the commitment and creativity to help you resume living your life! We offer individualized therapy programs that are based on your daily activities and needs. In language therapy, learn the words and phrases you want to socialize with friends and family. Let us help you make connections with back-to-work services. We offer computer-based therapy to support reading, attention and memory skills, and home practice. If you require an adapted means of communication, we can offer you a complete augmentative evaluation and device loans, plus the therapy you need to become a competent communicator. We go with you on community outings to practice your skills. We will also make sure you are connected to other health providers that can offer you important rehabilitation services. Come see us; WE CARE! (1st meeting is free)
