Adjustment to brain changes & acquired brain injuries

Problems in how our brains work can arise at various stages in our lives - not only when we are elderly. These changes result from external forces (such as a car accident) or events in our bodies (e.g. stroke, illness or toxin buildup). The main difficulties I deal with are:

  • Strokes
  • Seizures
  • Tumours
  • Concussions
  • Serious trauma resulting from accidents or assaults
  • Dementia
  • Neurodegenerative and disabling neurological diseases
  • Learning challenges

When your brain is damaged later in life, it can affect many things and it can be difficult to adjust to these changes - not only for the individual but for their family too. A damaged brain can affect a person’s memory, sensations and even their personality.

By turning to a professional, the individual and their loved ones will be able to gain an understanding of these specific brain changes and learn how to adjust their lives accordingly.
