Exceeding expectations the impact of effective brain injury rehabilitation After Abbie sustained a serious traumatic brain injury in a road accident aged only 19, her ambitions to continue with her studies and career aspirations took a severe knock-back - but through effective, collaboration rehabilitation, she was able to fulfil her ambitions and now leads an independent life.

Here, brain injury rehabilitation specialist Reach reveals how its ‘light touch’ and early intervention - and key role in supporting the family within a rehabilitative process and working within a multi-disciplinary approach which included education and statutory services - delivered life-changing results Through a rehabilitation process being made into a positive experience, with meaningful and achievable goals and the engagement of family and education providers, Abbie has been able to rebuild her life beyond what was initially thought possible. Having been struck by a car while Abbie was a pedestrian, the 19-year-old was forced to pause her studies in beauty therapy amidst the ongoing consequences of her traumatic brain injury. She struggled with fatigue, had difficulties with cognitive processing and verbal information, experienced a reduction in concentration and all in addition to hearing problems. But through the engagement of brain injury rehabilitation specialist Reach, who devised a bespoke home-based programme to support her rehabilitation goals and recovery, Abbie has been able to complete a Foundation Degree and start her own business.
