These services are designed to help the individual to live a full and productive life, as independently as possible. All services are customized to the individual and are adapted over time to his or her changing needs. Upon admission, a multidisciplinary team of professionals develops an Individual Rehabilitation Plan with input from the individual and the family that includes goals, outcomes, interventions and supports. The plan focuses on improving functional skills for successful community reintegration.

Participation in normal everyday activities and involvement in the community are facilitated to enable individuals in becoming more autonomous.
|
| Cognitive Rehabilitation |
| Cognitive rehabilitation is a structured therapy designed to improve an individual’s ability to think, use judgment and make decisions after a systemic insult. The term cognitive rehabilitation is applied to a variety of intervention strategies or techniques that attempt to help patients reduce, manage or cope with cognitive deficits. It includes an assembly of therapy methods that retrain or alleviate problems caused by deficits in attention, visual processing, language, memory, reasoning, problem solving, and executive functions.
Three types of rehabilitative approach are typically included:
1. Restoration: cognitive training and exercises directed towards strengthening and restoration of function,
2. Substitution: compensatory devices and strategies directed towards substitution of lost functions and promoting conservation of affected brain functions, and
3. Restructuring: environmental restructuring and planning to promote improved functioning by changing the demands placed on the individual by themselves and others.
