Brain Injury
Our Traumatic Brain Injury Program provides an atmosphere
of individualized therapy, comfort and support for families
and their loved ones who have sustained a brain injury. Our
team of therapy specialists works closely with the patient
and family to provide the best opportunity for return to the
community.
At Shaughnessy-Kaplan, patients begin the rehabilitation
process while having access to a full range of medical specialists
and diagnostic tests. Our interdisciplinary team focuses on
treatments that address physical dysfunction, cognitive issues
and social concerns. All treatment centers around each patient's
personal goals and seeks to minimize activity limitations.
