“…As Spohn and Crowly (2015) point out the focus has moved from addressing the nature and site of the child's brain dysfunction to the determination of effective remediation services [14]. Farmer et al (2010) point out that since the aim is to get children back to school, the educator has questions for the pediatric neuropsychologist [15].…”

Rehabilitation is a medical discipline which is needed wherever people have lost full functionality, and it is needed increasingly in noncommunicable diseases, such as neurological problems, but also, and perhaps more importantly, in middle-and high-income countries, where populations are growing more aged. The burden is borne by the health care systems, especially where family cannot take the full load of care. Rehabilitation is also a discipline which is carried out most effectively in multi-or interdisciplinary teams, which carry their own weight of learning and group tensions. They are also bound to consider best practice guidelines. Furthermore, there is also a wide gap between learning in college or university and practice in the ward which leads to a loss of confidence in newly trained medical and paramedical personnel such as doctors, nurses, physiatrists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. There is a genuine need for expert rehabilitation specialists who can mediate within teams as well as between groups and patients and their families. This paper lays out the range of considerations such a rehabilitation therapist must have under their belt. A model is presented. There are also two sets of parameters when using the model in practice. The first is the levels at which it works: hospital, departmental and individual. Then there are the specific challenges. Curriculum practice guidelines work at the hospital and departmental and professional levels; teamwork with its intrinsic challenges is of paramount importance; finally, the individuals will learn how to represent their insights in writing, most specifically represented in full-blown case reports. If the levels and roles coordinate, rehabilitation medicine should develop favourably.

“…Rather, it is the depth of training in standardized clinical and qualitative approaches to evaluation and diagnosis that guides the assessment of children and adolescents with severe brain injury within inpatient rehabilitation. These approaches require not only the knowledge of brain-behavior functioning across the developmental continuum, but also of the contextual and ecological factors that contribute to the child’s functional abilities (Farmer & Drewel, 2006; Farmer, Kanne, Grissom & Kemp, 2010). The psychologist utilizes injury data collected through imaging studies, acute care records, and observations to identify affected behavior systems.…”

This case series illustrates the role of the psychologist in the use of individual brain injury profiles to coordinate assessment, diagnosis, and care for children with severe brain injury. Implications include the need for focused research to demonstrate the value-added role of the psychologist on the interdisciplinary team working in the neurorehabilitation of this complex patient population.

“…The breadth, frequency, and nature of the services provided by inpatient rehabilitation neuropsychologists differ from the typical roles of outpatient neuropsychologists. Specifically, responsibilities of inpatient rehabilitation neuropsychologists include serial assessment of neurobehavioral recovery during rehabilitation admission, diagnostic intakes and provision of psychoeducation to families, co-treatment sessions with rehabilitation therapists, discharge evaluations and planning, and school reintegration assistance for patients (Farmer et al, 2010). Depending on the rehabilitation unit and available staffing, neuropsychologists may provide psychological services and address coping and adjustment or other emotional/behavioral concerns (Baron, 2018).…”
