Book Description

Publication Date: October 17, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0802042651 | ISBN-13: 978-0802042651

An injury to the brain can affect every aspect of a person's daily life, including physical abilities and psychological makeup, relationships and family roles, school and employment, recreation and leisure. At the hospital, you may hear much about brain injury but not realize the importance of it until you have to deal with an injured person at home. In this reference book, health-care and legal experts from Canada and the United States guide you through the process of rehabilitation and help you learn how to live with brain injury. Their advice is complemented by the stories of two people who have survived injuries and adjusted to their new lives.
