We help people reclaim physical and mental abilities:
The Mission
The Life Quality Recovery Program (LQRP) exists to facilitate remediation of the long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits resulting from brain injury and stroke.
The Goal
Participants completing the LQRP will experience reduction in brain injury symptoms and impairments:Physical symptoms:
- Diminished motivation and energy
- Motor impairment
- Sensory deficits
- Somnolence
- Pain
Cognitive symptoms
- Impaired organizational skills
- Cognitive impairment
- Attention deficits
- Altered mood
- Psychological trauma
Desired outcomes:
- Improved quality of life
- Return to fuller function
- Enhanced potential
- Increased independence
- Reduced long-term care
The Need
Prolonged changes and losses are experienced by many people who suffer brain injury or stroke. Often, even after medically stable and back at home, persons with brain injury have lingering consequences of injury which interfere with their communication, attention, mood, sleep, impulse control, and thinking skills. Quality of life is diminished. These changes impact others too, especially those family members who provide direct care to the injured person.
The Process
The LQRP is an intensive process which centers around Neurofeedback, but which may also include individual or small group therapy, cognitive skill training, and other modalities to meet individual needs. Special sessions are available for family members or others who want to accompany clients to the treatment program. A one-day evaluation, which includes a QEEG (brain map) and other neurodiagnostics, helps determine a client's suitability for the program.
The Results
"Reading had been so difficult (since my accident) I quit trying. Now I'm enjoying reading again." Susan M."Since the injury my energy level was so low I couldn't accomplish routine daily tasks. Now I'm happy to be getting back to work." John H.
"I had lost the ability to organize and express my thoughts. Now I'm giving motivational talks to school groups and writing a book about my experience of coma and the process of my recovery." Ted W.
"My accident occurred soon after I got my driver's license. Then, at 21, all I wanted was to be able to drive a car. Within a couple of months after completing the intensive program I began driving again."
