Characteristics of Residential Community Integration Programs for Adults With Brain Injury

Abstract

The considerable variability in characteristics of residential community integration programs for adults with brain injury presents significant challenges to researchers seeking to identify vital program components and to consumers attempting to compare programs.

Effectiveness of Rehabilitation in Enhancing Community Integration After Acute Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review

“…These measures have been useful in measuring occupational performance outcomes (Devitt et al, 2006). According to a nationwide telephone survey, occupational therapy staff were also involved in 69% of all home-based CI programs (Glenn, Rotman, Goldstein, & Selleck, 2005). This level of involvement was surpassed only by psychologists (85%).…”

Characteristics of home-based community integration programmes for adults with brain injury

“…Respondents were programme directors or other staff familiar with all aspects of the programme. The methods have previously been described [1,9].…”

“…The results of the surveys of facility-based and residential programmes are reported elsewhere [1,9].…”

Validation of the Activities of Community Transportation model for individuals with cognitive impairments

“…Despite the emergence of team driven community integration rehabilitation programmes [17] and the development of a disability service field dedicated to travel instruction and training [12], minimal research has been conducted on issues related to travel training and use of public transportation for people with acquired brain injury. A thorough review of the literature revealed only three studies that explicitly evaluated travel training programmes to teach survivors of brain injury to use public transportation [11,18,19].…”
